Default 5.3 maf wiring

so when i bought the engine a the harness, i noticed that the maf plug was missing, so i bought a new maf with a pigtail, my maf has 5 wires, tan, yellow, pink black and blk/wht, but my harness has like 4tan wires and twoblack and two pink wires.... my maf has a iat sensor in it so what are these extra wires for? any ideas?

What Harness do you have that has all the extra wires?

I wired my 85mm MAF into my LS1 Harness, and all the wiring was inplace.

Youll have to check each wires placement at the PCM connector to identify them

IAT Hi/Lo are PCM controlled, as well as MAF signal
MAF 12v is usually shared with the PCM IGN fuse
MAF grd can be grounded anywhere

one of the tan wires is for IAT sensor the others are

25 TAN 1671 HO2S Low Signal - Bank 2 Sensor 2
26 TAN 1667 HO2S Low Signal - Bank 2 Sensor 1
3 TAN 1465 Fuel Pump Relay Control - Secondary (Dual Tanks)
25 TAN 472 IAT Sensor Signal


are 1671 and 1667 some kind of sensors? what do they look like?

yeah, ho2s is your oxygen sensors. there were 4 total, usually the rear 2 are deleted though, in the pcm and also removed from the harness. get a continuity tester and check the pins at the pcm and you'll be able to id all those wires without tracing them all out physically.

Bear with me for a little bit of thread revival...

I'm in a similar situation to the one you were in. I have a MAF, but no pigtail for it and I need to figure out where to wire it into the wiring harness. I can probably figure out the wiring from this thread and some other pinout data I've seen, but I still need a MAF pigtail. Where did you buy yours from and how much did it cost you?
