I'm installing a mpg and high idle fooler. My hands are quite big and trying to determine the easest way to make the connection to the ait. Take off the bracket for the dip stick and remove fuel filter? Or find an Aisian woman to help? Lol.

Are you sure you got the right sensor?  Been a while since I messed in that area of a 24 valve, maybe it's different then a 12 valve. 

 

I just reach back and pop the connector off. I've also got big gorilla hands too.

Yeah, it can be a bear, even for normal sized hands.

You mean you guys don't just crawl up over the radiator and sit in there.

I guess being 130 lbs has its benefits...now if I could just see over the steering wheel.

I normally just pull the hoist ring out. Then I can reach in. I've also found out if you pull the valve cover you can get in there really easy then.

I put a 33X12.50" tire mounted on a rim with plywood on it right near the drivers tire & reach in while standing on it.

Man, that sucker is clean. What products do you use?

I made my own IAT fooler (only) & mounted a toggle in the knee panel.  Works great!  But man, it was a pain to reach the sensor to plug in the extension harness.  Like my boatyard days, I climbed up on top of the engine.  Laid cardboard over sharp corners & laid on it to reach.  There was blood spilt getting it done.

Are you running that stuff through the suction line of the power washer?
