Wel after looking around for awhile today trying to find a diagram, how-to, heck atleast some pictures to go by, I decided to make one myself. I eventually found the answers, but they should be here and easy to find. The point of this mod is to change out the stock 2 plug MAF/IAT sensor system for the single plug slot style meter setup found on modern mustangs. This mod is generally used/recommended for those with a turbo or centrifugal supercharger setup. I'm doing it because my car is turbocharged and I'll be using an SCT BA5000 slot style meter.
Here's a shot of the stock 94-98 (2) plug setup. On the left is the 4wire MAFplug, on the right is the 2wire IAT sensor/plug
Here's what we're switching to, a 6wire plug from an 05+ mustang. I've been told they can be found in other newer model Ford vehicles as well. It has the IAT sensor integrated in it, eliminating the second plug. We just have to wire it up.
I began by pulling the plugs into the fender and stripping back the loom/electrical tape and exposing the wires. I then cut them both off.
Here's a breakdown of the three plugs. This is what each wire does and is your guide for wiring up the new plug.
I spread the wires out and stripped back plenty of insulation to solder my connections.
Next I applied flux to my wires and cut some heat shrink wire wrap and slipped them over each wire, keeping them far enough from the connection that they wouldn't get hot and start shrinking from the soldering. I then matched up the wire colors using my guide above and soldered the connections.
I then sealed them up with the heat shrink wire wrap.
Reapply the wire loom and some electrical tape to keep it all together and neat looking. Here's the finished product:
Hope this is helpful to anyone else looking to do the swap

. Anyone second the motion?
