I have a 2001 Monte 3.4. I have heard a good idea to make the car run a little better is to re-locate the IAT or temp sensor. Does anyone know where this is on the car, and if there is anything specific to look at when doing this?

Ford Sucks

 

if you havent changed to a cold air intake its not going to make a diff. if you look at my cardomain site, i have directions on how to make a cold air intake and also info on relocating the temp sensor.

 

relocate the temp sensor?? didn't know you could do that....

anyways it should be right near the t-stat

 

were talking about the air temp sensor. your right the coolent temp sensor is close to the Tstat.

if you relocate the IAT (intake air temp sensor) you will keep the senesor away from engine heat/ heat soak. the sensor will read a few degrees colder, this will keep the computer from pulling as much spark advance, and may add additional fuel sooner.

i've noticed with the tuner there was no real need for this mod anymore, so when i recently redid my FWI setup i put the sensor back where it was for easy access. this mod doesnt make a drastic diff but again every little bit counts

 

Thanks for the input, the only people that i heard about it from were a few buddies who drive civics, and said they noticed a diff. Didnt know how it would compare to a chevy.....Thanks again
