yea newer ones with a 3 wire maf. Theres some of the older GM cars that have them also just cant rem which ones.

 

i think im gonna go exploring this weekend lol, probably wouldnt be a bad thing to throw in even without the speed density tune, cant really see it hurting anything

 

nope.. usually reacts faster than the stock one in the MAF.

IAT sensor wires are on one side of the MAF connector.. Tan and black.

 

definitley gonna go snag one from the junk yard n hopefully find a grommet that works, and thanks man. while this turds parked i know what im gonna be doing lol

 

For the F-body IATs.....

The TPI IAT is nothing more than a Water Temp sensor. Not the most effective way of measuring.

Whereas the 3rd gen F-body V6 IAT uses an actual resistor in a screened housing. It can't get heat soaked by the pos that the TPIs use & is a common upgrade for the TPI to do when they relocate it out of the aluminum plenum forward into the plastic air duct.

 

Dang thats nice to know!
The one i use looks alot like the one on the right.

 

That is the correct one to use.

 

atleast we got somebody that knows what they are talking about around here..

 

glad to see all this good info, i was pretty pissed no f body ls's were in are boneyard but theres hundreads of the v6 ones there, next time i go ill for sure be grabbing one. one last dumb question after you depin the one from the stock maf how do you hook it up to the sensor itself? take a junkyard harness and just cut it? also where would the best location be on the intake pipe?

 

The IATs that I posted above are from TPI & V6 82-92 F-bodies. I have no clue what the LS/98+V6 uses for IATS. The IAT is cheap enough at Autozone/NAPA/where ever so we just buy new ones, not used.

To put it in my air intake tubing, I bought the IAT then went over to Lowe's with it to find a nut that fit it. When I drilled the hole I made it just the size of the IAT shaft, not the threads themselves, so I was actually able the thread my IAT into the plastic itself. I can't recall if I put the nut on the inside as insurance to hold it or not but I know I was concerned that it could come loose & get sucked in through the throttle body.
