I have purchased a performance resistor chip which i need to plug into the (IAT) Intake Air Temperature Sensor on my E36 BMW 318 (1994). i've been told its pluged into the intake manifold but dont know where it is? I don't have a haynes manual either.

Need more info about your car, don't even know what country you are in. Is it an M40 or M42 engine? But go to http://www.realoem.com and have a look around. I couldn't find it anywhere. Are you sure you even have one on a 1994? From what I can find, a 318 didn't have one, but a 325 did. Since you have an air flow meter, that actually measures the amount of air going to the engine, you may not have one. IATs are used in conjunction with air pressure sensors or heated air flow meters to determine mass flow. Your air flow meter is a mechanical flap that raises higher with more air flow.

There's no such thing as an "oxygen temerature" sensor on that car. There's an oxygen sensor and there's also several temperature sensors. There's also an intake air temp sensor (IAT). Either way, It could be located on the intake manifold, next to the throttle body.
Hope this helps, good luck.

i might opt to ask the storage that suggested you that... out of your question this is not sparkling besides the fact that if the fault is with the sensor itself or that the cam senor is registering a fault, i assume you propose the sensor itself so changing the senor should not be to costly in any appreciate, one the various hand if its registing a fault that's going to be your timing chain and to replace it is extremely costly... choose this facilitates..

wow if tis anything like mine on a mitsubishi good luck!!! but i think you would be better off trying to get it done at a dealer because the 1st guy who tryed to fix mine caused more dammage than it was worth and i still had to pay him and take it for repairs and pay again heres what i found take a look good luck they are very hard to remove as well

some are on the inlet manifold and some are on the air induction pipe from the air filter depends what engine code you have but i would be care-full as they are very sensitive hope this helps
