    Default intake air temperature sensor

    Hey I was wondering if anyone can point me to where the intake air temperature sensor is exactly. I know that it is conected to the intake but from what I can see, there are two "things" connected to it and I am not too sure which one it is. I am not that great with electrical and am still trying to get used to where all the parts are located in my new tc, so graphic descriptions would be great. Thanks!

    yeah I got a performance chip and I installed it yesterday. I found the IAT on the CAI. When I started the car after the install, it stalled at first but it has been starting ever since, and I can tell a difference in the performance as well. But not for some reason, my passenger window will not go down and I cannot open the sunroof. Plus the auto on the driver's side window, is now only working on and off. I know that this would have nothing to do With the IAT, but it is very strange. I am going to take it to the dealer today and see if I can get it fixed.

    if you havent taken it to the dealer yet, DONT... idle your car for 5 minutes while your ECU resets..when i added the performance chip, its normal for the car to do that..you just have to idle it for like 5 minutes..

    well for some reason now, i can't roll down the passenger window and the sunroof won't open. so I will have to take it to the dealer to get it fixed. Should I take the chip out before I take it?

    Difficulty (1-5): 1
    Time Frame: 10 Minutes

    After the car battery has been disconnected and reconnected, there will be certain functions on the car that will need to be reset before the car will work correctly.

    Power Windows - Push down on the power window switch of each door and lower the windows half-way. Then pull up on the window switch until the windows close. Keep holding the switch for another two seconds.

    Rear Hatch Lock - Unlock the rear hatch door with the door key or by using the power lock switch in the door. Open and close the rear hatch by hand.

    Sunroof - Push and hold the “close” side of the sunroof switch for two seconds after the sunroof has fully closed.
