Does anyone know haow to locate the intake air temperature sensor (IAT) in a nissan altima? Mine is a 1994 GXE.

welcome to NICO, i hope you find everyone here very informative and friendly, as far as your question, i think its direclty 'next' to the MAF near the intake manifold, im not too familiar with the ka24 altimas, but on the 24os its near the MAF, im assuming its the same place for the altimas, try using the red search button at the top of your screen, as tihs problem may have been posted before and it might yield more informative answers than i can give

^^^^Exactly!

haha, thanks rev, but about which pat??

I jsut hope your not falling for the iat sensor chip off E-bay.. its a scam and won't do anything for you.

[nlzmo400r]

good advice, i'd be very skeptical about buying anything off ebay

[Und3rprshUr]

Not anything i purchased my spearco 2-221 intercooler and brand new (6) nismo 555cc injectors off e-bay.

What you have to watch out for is the scams. they claim 20hp with 5.99$ lol i mean come on.

[nlzmo400r]

well yea, those are obvious, like the old saying goes, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is

[Cold_Zero]

20hp for 5.99? Is it a hacksaw blade to cut the hose to your intake box and cut off your exhaust before the cat?

[nlzmo400r]

haha, yea, except for the noise, that would be a worth while consideratoin, if it were a straight race car ,and i didnt have to worry about emissions and such, screw 1k for a good catback, i'd cut that mutha off

the sensor that you are talking about is right before the air filter in the box it is inside the tube that is going down by the wheel well, well atleast that was where mine was when i went to go look for it, but then again i also have a 2000 so it might be a little bit different but i dont think that it is that different

[nlzmo400r]

its right by the maf near the intake manifold, thats where i found the one on the 24o, so it could be anywhere.........check the trunk?

Ive had the intake on my 93 altima apart many times and ive never even seen one. the only place it could possibly be is in the intake hose that goes from the lower air box through the wheel well. I think there is another box that hose feeds into behind the front bumper and fender possibly in there.

yeah, it is in the hose that goes from the lower air box thru the wheel well. go to http://www.courtesyparts.com/b....html this will give you an exploded view of the intake system .
