Intake Air Temerature Sensor

I am looking for some info on the location of the IAT sensor to put a module in it for better fuel mileage. Does anyone have the picture of the IAT and/or the exact location of the IAT?

There is no such thing as a module for better mileage. Mazda has access to Ebay also. If such a thing was true why isn't it on the car now?? But to answer your question the IAT is part of the MAF sensor which is right behind the air box. The tear drop thing is the IAT.

here it is:



I had to remove it when I installed my propane injection setup. The propane injection required an aftermarket boost controller that serves to override the computer's stock air/fuel maps. The good thing about my setup is that it injects the propane via the oil system metering pump, produces 125 extra horsepower, for a total of 327.2hp to the wheels, and lies flat on its side via a stainless steel hose and metal clamp bands attached to the VTEC module.

Not just some part of the engine bay, it was attached to the V-TECH module...
