The one all the way on the back is the IAC , I think the one you're looking for is on the side.

You'll need a #25 torx driver or socket to change either. While your at it, pull the IAC off the back and clean the carbon off the plunger and out of the throttle body.

Why are you changing these sensors? My rig was surging at high speed when I changed my TPS, Auto Zone had it on the shelf for $40.

You've got a 2001 Ram.
Did you download the FSM?
If so, you might research some of the terms, etc. there.

The Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) sensor is on the front of the throttle body.

The Idle Air Control (IAC) sensor is on the back of the throttle body.

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is on the side of the throttle body, opposite the throttle linkage.
