Can anyone tell me where the IAT (Intake Air Temp) sensor is on my 2008 Ford Escape (2.3L 4cyl)?I know it must be on or near the air intake or air filter, soa picture or graphic would be helpful if possible. Thanks!

 

Intake air temp is measured through the MAF

 

Thanks, you sound very knowledgable. What is MAF?

 

Mass Air Flow sensor..

Mounted into the air box/intake.. It monitors/measures intake aif flow volume, as well as intake air temp.. #3 in the pic.. Whats the issue with your 08?

Not having an issue with the Escape, I purchased a module from Tuned Engineering (TunedEngineering.com) that plugs into the IAT. It is supposed to improve gas mileage and engine performance. They also say that it will not void any factory warranties.

 

Be careful what you plug into a computor system. Anything that alters fuel drop or timing WILL affect your warranty. Remember, these people DO NOT have a working relationship with Ford Motor Company, so they cannot say if it does or does not affect warranty.

 

Does anyone know which the two holes to plug the mod chip into?it pulgs into the iat sensor.I have a ford 500 should be the the same as any 2000+ ford.

 

If it is in with your mas airflow sensor,.. it should be the two outermost wires, a chip will void a engines waranty, however can be easily removed in such a case you need to be.
