Default IAT sensor nonexistant

Hello, I recently had a crackhead pull all the wires from my car and Ive been reconnecting them. I have everything in working order and driving fine but the IAT sensor is still unplugged. The issue is i cannot find the wire for it anywhere. Could anyone show me where the wire comes out from so I could maybe dig it out? Or how I might go about getting a new sensor if I cant even find the wire? Also, the car seems to run fine without it. Is it valid to run without one?

Looks like the sensor is still in the intake manifold? The wires are somewhere in the harness branch coming over your fuel rail. Start pulling tape and wire loom off.

The IAT is absolutely nessissary.

It comes out the harness close to the sensor.



I assume this is the 1995 4.0 you posted about earlier. If you add that to your profile, you won't need to mention it in your posts.
