I have a 96 Honda accord lx non vtec. Where exactly is the IAT sensor. I was
looking at my manually and now it seems like where i thought the iat sensor
was is the iac sensor. From in the book it looks like its behind the intake
manifold towards the lower right hand side looking at the engine. please
help!

Its behind the back of the intake manifold. It has a connector that is plugged into it. Should be simple to find. Its on the opposite side of the TB and actually plug right into the intake plenum.

well the manual is right the iac sensor is on the back of the IM but if you look to the right of it(facing the motor) there is another sensor that plugs into the IM thats the IAT.

SO tell me if im correct it has two wires to it and it connect to like a yellow looking connector. And is that reffered to as the plenum?
See heres the deal I have been trying to put a resistor on that iat sensor, I put a 3.9k which is in the range of 4k and my engine light came on after a certain rpm. Then I put a 3.3k on but did not notice a difference. But i did just get my valves adjusted maybe it willl ill try again. I really appreciate your help and nice ride.
