Below the throttle body's rubber y-pipe is a metal y-pipe...the IAT sensor is right smack in the middle.

It shouldn't be...but I haven't done it. It's pretty easy to get to though.

umm...yes it kinda is a b*tch to change! well it's easy to change but tightening one of the screws without the perfect tools (a stubby swivel on an extension) or without removing a lot of stuff first. you'll see what i mean

actually, you may be in luck! it's been so long that i'm now thinking that i was confusing the iat sensor with the map sensor.

Oh yeah, the map sensor is on the side...that one seems far more complicated.

You have to remove the intake rubber Y-pipe to see it.
