The other three wires are for the Mass air flow sensor . That's a new one for me , performance chips or turners are used through the DLC . You program the engine computer . I have no idea what they can do from the intake air temp. sensor .The tan an lit blue wires are for the IAT sensor !

SOURCE: installing chip and want to double check wiring. Need to find IAT/MAF sensor diagram for 2003 Ford Ranger

Save your money, the chip is a ohm resistor at Radio Shack for under $2.00. It splices in to you IAT wire harness located at the intake tube between the air filter housing and throttle body.
Problem with this system is, that you can not adjust anything and have to run a constant 91 octane just to make sure you do not have a Detonation. The ECM will catch the Detonation from the knock sensor and compensate for it by retarding the timing which in turn lose of HP till next start up.
If you like and don't mind the check engine light on once and awhile, you can do the same by just disconnecting the IAT wire harness which give the ECM a 0 resistance thinking it's -20 out side and turn the timing up and lengths the injector pules.
When i was running a Nitro in the Toy before i sold it, i had installed a 10K ohm Potentiometer which you can buy at radio shack for under $5.00 i believe, I just spliced it in to the IAC wire harness so if i wanted to play with the Nitro I'ld turn the resistor up making the engine think it's 185 degrees F and would ****** the timing so i would not hurt the engine. But if i wanted to get more timing i would just turn the knob to drop the resistance to get more time since the engine thinks it's -20 out side.
Hope this helps. Keep me posted if you need more info. Best thing is to do a dyno tune and you can change everything right down to the Shift points.

SOURCE: How do I install a performance chip for the IAT.

that "performance chip" is not good for you car. that resistor is trying to make your car think the air coming into the intake is colder than it is, thus making your car use more fuel to perform better. slightly feel like more horsepower, use more gas.

SOURCE: I want to install a Tunesport module in my 2000 Acura 3.2 TL. Which wires do I connect to?

That is not a chip (it is a 50 cent resistor) and it will void your warranty and likely damage the engine as well.

Where is iat sensor on 2006 toyota tacoma 4.ol 4door located ?

This is the 2001-2012 Toyota Tacoma wiring diagram, Toyota Tacoma IAT (Intake Air Temperature) Sensor Location and the Toyota Tacoma MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor Location, also included is a pinout of the sensor. You are likely installing a performance chip or a cold air intake kit for increased HP (Horsepower). You will want to be sure to disconnect the car battery before adding performance products.




Here is the Toyota Tacoma's Iat sensor diagram:

What 2 wires are the IAT wires for 2006 kia spectra? just need to connect a performance ECU chip and don't know which 2 wires are the IAT wires.

I assume this is a chip from eBay. I suggest not going that route. All those "chips" are, are resistors that trick the car into thinking the air temperature is a certain degree, which can improve performance. However, it can affect other aspects of the car and it could cause long term damage. Also, modifying car wiring on a critical part like the IAT could cost lots if it is damaged.

Locating the iat sensor on a 2003 dodge 5.9

The IAT sensor is along the intake tube before the throttle body. If your planing to buy the performance chip from EBAY or any other place, save your money. You can go to Radio shack and it will cost you less then $3.00 for the resistor needed to make your own "performance Chip" IF you like you can use and 10K ohm potentiometer wire it through to the IAT sensor wire harness so you can adjust your timing for the type of fuel you want to use or how much performance you want out of your engine. Here is a link to the installation of the resistors and the different resistor's you can use or like me use a Potentiometer. Note if the timing is to high on hot days, the knock sensor may trigger and the engine will power down 15% till next start up. Good luck and hope this helps. http://kingenterprises.net/IAT-Timing-Tricker.htm
