Coolant temp anywhere you can get to flowing coolant... I've always used the stocker.
IAT, just before the throttle body in the intake plumbing.

This will report the HOTTEST reading possible from how I understand the water flow. The water flowing past the sensor, just came out of the head and hasnt hit the radiator yet. The only problem I have is the car isnt happy running hard until the t-stat opens.
I dont know if there is a right or a wrong answer on this one. This was the easiest for me to tap into.
Anyone else care to chime in?

err, not accurate, not precise etc.... :P
but until the t-stat opens you're not getting a reading of the *actual* engine temp, which is the most important thing as this is one of the sensors the ECU uses to determine how much fuel is required, is it in warmup mode etc
probably cos the ECU thinks the engine is colder than it actually is, see above ![wink](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/wink.gif)
there is definately a right and wrong answer and I think the fact that your car tuns like toss until the T-stat opens is evidence of which is correct.
