The other day I was installing my new IACV and noticed that the wired have broken off something. the only thing is I dont know what this "something" is called. It's kind of hard to order something when you have no clue what to call it. thanks for any help.

 

bump cause i know some honda-head has to know the name

 

intake air temperture sensor aka IAT

 

u have a B20 in there...

Air intake temp sensor, get that thing fixed asap, or rour car will run very rich

 

B20? looks like a b18 to me

 

i retract my previous statement

b20 it is

 

yeah valve cover gives it away

U need to get that sensor wire fixed asap

 

Yes that is your Intake Air Temperture Sensor (IAT)

 

thanks guys.....yeah it's a B20B, what made you think that instead of a B18?? just curious

 

if anything else other than a b20 it would be an ls because of the shape of the valve cover

 

difference between b20 and b18 and ls would be....what exactly

 

Transmission?

Yikes...

There are multiple B18's (B18B, B18C1, B18C5, etc) - most of which made their homes in Integras.

B20 is from the CR-V.

LS is from Integra, and is B18B.

Differences vary from power, to torque, to transmissions, to displacement, gear ratios, intake manifolds, cams, to everything. Do a search if you really want to know.

 

I was wondering were the IAT was on hondas and now i know woohoo!

ok how can you tell by the valve cover????....i believe in 98 honda went to that style valve cover for all non-vtec b-series engines

 

I can tell just from looking at the valve cover, i dont know how..but i just can

 

the VC looks just like my B18b. some are smooth like that and some have "lumps". But the IM look like the one off my DA with that PGFI sticker.

 

here's another dumb question....how can you tell what year IM you have? the one I have now is from a friend and said it's off a `95......the only thing I cared about at the time was that it would fit.
