Where is the IAT sensor located on a 1988 Chevy?

The location of the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor on a 1988 Chevy depends heavily on the *specific* model of Chevy (e.g., Silverado, Cavalier, Camaro, etc.) and the engine type. There's no single answer.

To find it, you'll need to:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. It should have a diagram showing the sensor's location.

2. Use a repair manual specific to your 1988 Chevy model and engine: A Haynes or Chilton manual will have detailed diagrams and instructions.

3. Search online: Try searching "[Your Chevy Model] 1988 IAT sensor location" on Google, YouTube, or a car forum specific to your vehicle. Images are often helpful.

Generally, the IAT sensor is located somewhere in the intake system where it can accurately measure the temperature of the air entering the engine. Common locations include:

* In the air intake duct: This is a frequent location. Look for a small sensor plugged into the ductwork between the air filter and the throttle body.

* Integrated into the mass airflow sensor (MAF): Some vehicles combine the IAT and MAF sensors into a single unit.

* Near the throttle body: Sometimes it's mounted on or very near the throttle body.

Without knowing the precise model and engine of your 1988 Chevy, providing a more specific location is impossible.
