Install the IAT sensor into the IAT Sensor Grommet (12). First line up the sensor tab so that it is between the arrowhead and locking ramp on the Grommet. Then insert the sensor so that the tab is touching the Grommet. Finally twist the IAT sensor so that the tab goes over the ramp on the Grommet. A properly installed IAT sensor should look like the picture shown.
Connect the IAT Extension Harness (22) to the IAT sensor and wire harness.
Insert the ribbed push-in retainer clip on the coolant line into the threaded insert on the Y Tube (11). If the original ribbed push-in retainer clip is broken, you can replace it with the provided Push In Cable Tie (24).
Use Cable Ties (23) to neatly bundle the IAT Harness Extension (22) together with the coolant line so that it is secured away from any hot or moving components and also not rubbing against any components. Trim the excess Cable Tie with wire cutters.
