I've read a couple accounts of people installing their sensor in the intake mani and having heat soak problems as well as vibration problems because of the open element style sensor. Supposedly vibration is worse when mounted in the intake mani and the thermistor breaks inside the cage. That can be resolved by supporting the thermistor with silicone without getting it on the head of the sensor.

I meant idle air control, but if the manifold heatsoaks, then I'd assume the IAT won't read right on startup. I'll stick it in the IC pipe. I was just curious about the reasoning for not putting it in the manifold.

So now back to my questions about the fuel pump and fan. I guess everyone just wires up the FP to come on when the car is turned on and put the fan on a thermal switch? Are there better ways?

the thermoswitch will control the fans.
without building a circuit like the PnP, thats the best you can do about the pump. light green wire off a yellow plug relay under the driver side dash.

Has anyone come up with a circuit for the FP? I couldn't find anything with a search. I'd much rather do that than wire it to the ignition.
Also, does anyone know what size tap I need for the IAT?
