I just got a 97z that has a p600b kit on it. The IAT sensor is not there. It throws the code for it. The elbow is threaded, the sensor that the parts store showed me thats supposed to go in it is not made for a threaded hole. I have the plug in and everthing, just no sensor. I was wondering if someone with similar set up knows what to do? THanks!

Get it for a 92 gmc syclone if its the same as the iat plug in for the ls1.

awesome, i'll try it. As long as the plug goes in it, it should work right?!?

just get them to get both of them out, the original one for your car and the threaded one from the syclone. They are around 15 bucks, so don't let them shaft you. The are 3/8 npt so make sure thats what the bung is.

sounds great, thanks for the help!

if they cant find the syclone in 92 have them look in 91. most places dont list them for 92

They list it as air charge temperature sensor or something retarded like that.

Thats exactly right. Thanks again for everything.

got the sensor today, its the right plug, looks like the thread is 1/2" rather then 3/8. Im going to try it, if its too big, would there be anything wrong with an adapter?

So you are saying that the sensor has 1/2" threads and the elbow has 3/8" threads?
The main thing is to insure that the sensor tip gets in the airflow. If the adapter is to long, it will prevent the sensor from being in the airflow, and will provide inaccurate readings.
Your other choice would be to retap the elbow.

thats what i was thinking. I dont know if there would be anything else that requires the same sensor but 3/8" thread? It just had a hollow plastic piece in it, it has the clip for the plug and everything, just nothing inside of it.

also, they are calling it an Air Charge Sensor, i just wanted to make sure this wouldn't change it, i mean the plug in is the same. thanks!

should definitely be 3/8 npt

That looks better; I may pick one of those up for my car.

looks just like the sensor i bought today, the hole in the elbow is definitely smaller. So tap and die?

I had to tap mine, its just a 3/8 npt. Make sure you get all the debris out.

sounds good, i'll try to find somewhere to buy a pipe thread tap. Thanks
