On my 02' Mustang and 01' Cobra, it was integrated with the MAF. I never looked on the Lexus before but it should be around that area.

Hi, if the iat(intake air temperature) sensor is integrated to the maf( mass air flow) sensor, does anybody know which of the two wire on the maf sensor represent the iat sensor?
Thanks

Here you go. This is the view from the BACK of the harness, not the plug side.

Thank you all!
When you say harness, do you mean the part of the connector on to the intake assembly, rather than the plug coming from the engine side?

I have intention to apply a small device(in practicality the equivalent of a resistor) to improve mileage and smooth-ness in acceleration!

"Harness" may have not been the best word for me to use. Its actually looking at the back of the plug where the wires enter it.

Generic Example:

Always a controversial mod.

Done this my self. Dont recommend it. It helps nothing. Your gas mileage decreases.
