IAT Sensor?
 

Hey guys...i just recently purchased a performance mod and the instructions tell me that the mod is installed in my IAT (Intake Air Temperature) sensor.

1.) Where in the 8 can i find it?

and

2.) It also tells me to disconnect my battery. Is there any problem is that after reconnecting it?

If anyone else has done this or has any other way of doing this, advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

OK WAIT BEFORE I ANSWER YOUR QUESTION....

Please tell me this is not a Performance chip mod...

You know it IS, HitGuy!

Ebay for FTMFW!!

A - Won't work,
B- You wasted your $24.95,
C- If you paid more than $24.95 you could charge the seller with fraud, (but you didn't, right?)

Read this link and don't you even think about installing that chip (if that is what you are doing)

i only paid $6.95 for it and why won't it work?

so there really isn't any sense in installing this chip (if that is what it is.) all i got was instructions to install it nd its 2 wires with rubber wrapped in the middle of it

It works, I have two of them on, twice the effect.

In case you didn't get it, that was the sound of sarcasm.

So you paid $6.95 for something worth 0.05 This old thread of mine might help

To put it in simple terms, this is a resistor, if wired in to your IAT it would tell the computer that the incoming air was really cold, and convince it to add extra fuel.

In ordinary cars, extra fuel would equal more power, but our car runs a little rich normally, so more fuel equals LESS power, less mileage and more carbon buildup.

Besides the loss in performance, the computer is way smarter than you, and would figure out what was wrong and compensate for it within a few seconds.

That being said, the power wire for the IAT is black+lightblue, go for it.

yea the chip i got looks somewhat similiar to those in the pics. Mines a little bigger with a thinner black strip in the middle. Now that i'm getting all this info i'm thinkin about sending it back

Ok. i understand now. A loss in performance is the last thing i'd want so i think i'mma just send it back now. Thanks for the info!!

Let us know if they actually take it back, would you? I'm curious to hear.

When is the last time $6.95 has ever gotten you a claimed 20 HP? This is where Consumer common sense should kick in....

they said that they won't take it back since it was past the 'return policy date' which is 7 days

It was probably shipped ground and it too 7 days to get to you.

so wat your saying is it true? cuz im new here and i just spent 70 on mine at http://slrmotorsports.com

Then you are lucky that SLR Motorsports claims to have a 60 day returns policy.

wow,

i would use the return policy right now. before you get it. or you are spam..

beers :beer:

Found these pics on another forum, $50.00 for this? If you used a CC stop the transaction this is a scam. How can that piece of junk work in all the cars listed.

If they would have just listened to there parents when they were growing up. Stuff like this could have been avoided.

what would you suggest me getting for perfomance but is at low expenses

A Zex NOZZZZZZZZZZZZZ kit.

im not trying to kill myself man lol. i also heard it fries your piston rings if you dont do it right. wat else?
