    Coyote Gen 3 wire connection?

    Can some one tell me where the wire labeled C132 AAT goes and what gets connected to the connection in the second pictures. The connection is on the drivers side and was on the engine harness. It did not come with the Ford wiring harness.

    Thanks everyone, getting real close.

    Craig

    AAT = Ambient Air Temperature Sensor. Mine didn't have a connection for it either on the engine harness. Asked Ford Performance help desk. They didn't know. I just tied it out of the way and the engine is running fine. Several others have reported the same thing with the same conclusion.

    To be honest, I don't remember a connector on the engine harness I didn't use. But it's been a couple years since I installed the Gen 3 in my Coupe. Could have been. I'm confident saying though if there isn't a matching connection on the control pack harness it's not needed.

    Hey Craig, I don’t have a mate for that plug either. It looked like a similar connector to the AAT but I didn’t see anything that fit… let me know if you find out otherwise.

    I’m close too, just a few last things to wire for me. Good luck on first start!!
