Hi there

I cleaned the TBI with some carb cleaner and I think the IAT sensor is dirty and the ECM light came on.. I did some research everywhere and I can't find it...
it's the sensor that monitors how much air (hot or cold) is going into the air intake..

I have a 1991 Ford Tempo L 2.3 4 cyl with the 3 speed automatic 2 door

Does someone know where it is or maybe have a snap shot of it

Look all the way to the right side of the lower intake. It screws into the intake in a horizonal position.

Humm I cannot seem to find it... I found something that has 2 phillips screws on the side and when I removed it..it looks like it's something to do with the opening of the throttle.. it's like that sensor monitors the opening of the intake... what is that mass air sensor near.....

That would be the TP sensor, mounted on the throttle body. Go to the right side of the intake, below the fuel rail, all the way to the right of the lower intake. It screws into the end of that intake runner.
