I have a 2003 3G GT which i just bought about 2 weeks ago. I have always been a faithfull domestic motors person and ford fanatic for all you haters. and with the purchase of my new gt i find myself lost in all this import stuff... carbeurated motors were much easier! this being my first undertaking in this area i need some help. i have started some simple bolt on mods already such as jdm cold air, vis front upper strut bar, trendgear short throw kit and front rear drilled and slotted rotors with semi-metallic pads... nothing too significant by any means. but my most recent purchase is the issue. i have heard from several others and it is probably true that this mod is a waste of time but it was cheap and i thought i would give it a shot... i bought an IAT sensor piggy back plug in which is said to trick the system to thinking that it needs to dump more fuel and make the engine run richer. i'm sure every one knows about these. but i have no idea where the IAT sensor is located on this vehicle to install the resistor... and i was wondering if any one could assist me before i give up on these fuel injected junkers and go back to what i know with my old mustang where all i gotta do is swap the fuel nozzles to get a richer mixture.... thanks and i would greatly appreciate a response as soon as possible.
That sounds like an ebay mod that I would stay away from. The idea is to get a more ideal stoich condition, not run richer. Running richer makes you lose horsepower. Also the stock strut bar is better than any after market strut bar you can get since it bolts to 4 points in the engine bay instead of two.
Rather it's a domestic or a foreign engineered engine, the basic concepts are the same, they all compress air to make power, don't make the imaginary difference of the two an obstacle.
