Where is the IAT sensor on a 1996 Chevy Silverado with 5.7L engine?

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor on a 1996 Chevy Silverado 5.7L is typically located within the air intake tube, somewhere between the air filter housing and the throttle body. It's often a small, cylindrical sensor with a wire harness connected to it.

Because its exact location can vary slightly depending on the specific configuration of your truck's air intake system, you'll need to visually inspect the intake tubing. Look for a sensor that matches this description. It might be mounted directly to the tubing or have a small bracket. A wiring diagram for your specific vehicle year and engine would help confirm. You can usually find these online through various auto parts websites or repair manuals.
