Power Wire & CEL
 
Ok I installed the power wire and all was fine but once the engine gets up to temperature the check engine light comes on. If I pull off the power wire, the light never comes on. Any suggestions? Anyone else have this after installing the power wire?

thats why i just relocated my iat sensor. no codes or nothing. are you sure you have the wires on the correct leads? and not reversed

The 4.7k resistor is on the Green/Blue wire. What do mean you relocated the sensor? You mean you removed it from the air plenum and if so where did you relocate it to? Did you then block the sensor hole in the plenum?

he moved it more tward the filter and pluged the old hole. did you cut and put the resistor in the factory wire or make your own harness like I did?

Mine did the same thing....one wire had popped out and thrown the code....removed it and it went back to normal

I made the harness like you did. I didn't see the point of tapping or cutting the factory wire. It took me all of twenty minutes to make a jumper harness using the chopped spade lug to go into the female factory connector and I had a mini Molex from work that fit the male pins on the sensor. It looks very factory. I will check the connections to make sure nothing came loose. I'll report back.

I havent had any codes, but I put mine in-line. I would also suggest checking all connections. So, I have nothing to add. lol

Graythang, you wouldn't happen to have a part number for the molex connector would you?

I can get it at work tomorrow. We use them for LED lead inserts. They come with a 6" set of 20ga wire on them. The actual plug that is used on the truck from the factory is an Amp/Tyco seal tight connector.
