How do i find the AIT sensor?

[Daven]

I'm eventually going to swap out this engine anyways, so i figured i would get one of these notorious "chips" off ebay for 20 bucks lol. I'm not interested in hearing how cheaply they are made and all that since thats why i bought it in the first place lol. Drop 20 bucks to gain even a small amount of anything would make it worth it for this engine anyways.

So acording to the instructions i need to find the AIT sensor and umplug it and put the "chip" with the 2 metal prongs in instead. It said in the instructions that it should be found in the hose that goes from the front of the car to suck the air in, to the air box. But i lookedn for a good deal of time and could not find anything im sure would be it. I dont want to wreck anything

So could someone maybe find it and take a picture, or help explain where it would be? The instructions said to email them and they would explain it, but i figured u guys would know more about these engines than someoen that produced 10 dollar chips for every vehicle out there lol

Thanks

The "chip" is a 5 cent resistor, it isn't going to do anything good for you.

yep, worthless, throw it right in the garbage and leave the factory sensor plugged in

lmao could someone maybe hint to its location? As i said before, i know its not some top notch superchip. I just figured dropping 20 bucks on it isnt the worst idea ive had. So i will hook this up and see what happens. I beleive this works by telling the engine it needs more air so it shoves more in there anyways. Not always a bad idea as far as i know... lol

Ill set it up and let u guys know if i notice any difference. I already bought it, so im not really looking to hear for the hundredth time that this wont do anything. Thanks for looking though.

Its on the center runner of the upper intake manifold. Right hand side. It screws into a port on the runner. Some of these guys dont want to answer your questions, they only want to bad mouth your gear or your lack of knowledge. Hope this helps you out. Let us know how it turns out.
If you need a picture, I can post one for ya.

Thanks alot lol And ya a picture would be great if you dont mind. I know this isnt some supership... But hey, it was like 15 bucks shipped so whatever. And like i said, if it somehow wrecks the engine then ill just have to get that swap done a bit ahead of plans But i kinda doubt that since the product wouldnt be on the market anymore if it did wreck engines at least fast. Or not have any good reveiws lol

This is on the right side of the engine intake manifold.

if you want your engine to get more air, go buy one of those cheap ass cone filters from pep boys. they're also $20 and you'd get a lot more benefit from. your stock air box is only gonna pull in so much air, regardless of what some "chip" is telling it to do.

Thanks. I already have a cone off of a cold air intake. it is hooked up instead of the stock air box.

No, just no.

It works by making the computer think the engine is bringing in cooler air than it really is so it adds fuel and makes it run richer. It's isn't going to do any thing positive.

It'll just lower your fuel mileage and foul your plugs more quickly. Those "chips" are very useful for one thing, removing money from your wallet. And they fall into the same category as the tornado and cone filters, usually useless and do more harm than good. I've been through the cone filter stage and the trying to get more power cheap phase, I learned.
