will-ford...which engine do you have??

On the 4.6L, it should be in the intake tube (connector is underneath).

On the 5.4L, it should be up behind the air filter box.

Don't know if you need special tools or not, but do a search in the 5.4 modular engine forum and you may have all the instructions spelled out for you.

Performance Chip Question

I have a 2004 F150. I am trying to install a 2 wire chip to the IAT sensor. Where is the IAT sensor and if it is the plug coming out of the CTS, which wires do I hook the chip to?

DO NOT INSTALL THAT RESISTOR CHIP. Those things are cheap $0.01 parts. That thing will fail down the road and short out your IAT sensor. It "shorts" the sensor and tricks the PCM to run rich. I know it's cheap, but you're just asking for broke stuff
