It might be that.
 






cant do an engine pic, as it pouring at the moment, but here is an explanation;

If you know what the Throttle Body is, it is a cylindrical piece of metal, bolted directly behind the Throttle Body on the DRIVERS side of the engine.

If you don't know where the Throttle Body is;
You should have a black shroud that says 4.0, under that is the Intake Manifold and the Throttle Body.

What hes holding in his hand is what it should look like.
 






Thanks, i am going to put in this racing chip thing.

That chip thing goes on the IAT sensor--
Intake-Air -Temperature sensor---which is located in the intake tube--it is small, with 2 wires going to it.
The "chip thing" is a resistor, which is supposed to trick your vehicles computer into a "richer" fuel mixture. The claim is more horsepower, and better throttle response.


However, don't bother--it will not make your truck run better.

Did you spend some money on a manual yet?

does a 91 have a IAT?
 






To whom it my concern do not git this chip it sucks so bad. It actually made my truck run like $#!* it had a low rpm and sent to much fuel to it. It sucked so bad.

Ya, thats common knowledge. Be aware pretty much anything like that claiming free horsepower is worthless, tornado intakes, fuel magnets, ect.
