IAT sensor connection missing
Hi all
On my 99 vert the PO had a vortex ramair intake put on.The IAT sensor has never had a connection in the two years I have owned the car(there is not even a spare wire that I can find that would logically go to this unused connection)The car runs great with no codes.Should I buy a sensor and try to trace out some wires to hook it up?
Thanks Greg Cook

So, you have an IAT hole in the air intake, but you cannot find a connector for it.?... It's got to be hiding there somewhere. Just curious, how many wires go to your MAF connector?

Ok, I was just making sure someone had not converted to a 5 wire MAF. Trace the two wires out, what color are they, and where do they lead?

Upon futher inspection I found that the IAT connector was hooked up to the lead going to the right hand forward side of the air inlet bridge;this appears to be a correct thing to do(moving the IAT sensor away from the engine heat).Thanks for taking the time to respond to my concerns.
