Bought cyclone performance chip for 2007 gmc sierra. it tells me to put the 2 prongs in the iat sensor holes. problem is there are 5 hole I could put it in on the plug. which two are the air intake sensor holes?
Re: Bought cyclone performance chip for 2007 gmc sierra....
Havent a clue on this one ,never seen a GMC sierra ,but i could tell you on a ford sierra .-sorry a totally useless reply ,only a suggestion but call the shop where you bought it they should know

If you are installing a so called "chip" don't do it, it can harm the engine due the changes it causes in fuel control as related to Intake Air Temperature and burn holes in the pistons. All that little part really is, is a $.50 (50 cent) resistor that you can buy from Radio Shack, it is smoke and mirrors and it also will void any warranty you may have. I for one strongly advise against installing it, it will make not difference in power and all there claims are just lies and falsehoods..
what do you mean by control? there is one wire normally pink or white with pink strip that is power 5 volts + black is ground and a reference voltage 5 volts ground is black or white so the other two colors would be the control wires going to the computer. However would need the first 8 numbers of the Vin to know for sure. you can also go to www.alldatadiy.com and purchase a subscription that will give you the exact information you need, they change color codes for wires from time to time and if you hook it up wrong you can destroy the computer so I suggest you purchase the subscription to be sure.
The intake air temp sensor is the one that is not the mass air flow. It should be a little 2 wire sensor in the inlet tube. The mass air flow is near the air cleaner, and is inline with the air inlet tube.
Yes. That is exactly it. The Air Intake Temp Sensor is built into the Mass Air Flow Sensor on the Air Filter Box. Below is a picture... I personally have not connected one of these Chips to a Tahoe...What I can provide you with, is the Connector Diagram so you know exactly what Wires you need to Splice in to. See below... I hope this helps you. If you have any more questions or need any more diagrams, please don't hesisitate to ask...Thanks again, JShreader.
Those chips are not chips just a 5 cent resistor to alter the IAT (Intake Air Temperature) signal to the PCM (Powertrain Control Module), the idea is that the engine control computer thinks it is getting colder air than it really is and slightly increases spark advance, u will feel no difference in power but u may gain 1 MPG in fuel economy, so u decide. One last note they are illegal in most states that do emission tests, it alters the factory controls.
Well, the IAT (Intake Air Temperature) sensor is located on the air intake duct between the filter and the throttle body (Assuming you have the 6L motor). The wires are easily visible at the plug that connects the sensor to the wiring harness. That's the easiest place to access them.
