Does a 2004 FX HO have a air temperature sensor??

Hey Guys

I posted a while back about this and really need help. I have looked high and low for this sensor on my 2004 FX HO but can't find it? I have looked everywhere near the throttle bodies and fuel rail but can only see the air pressure sensor, throttle position sensor and cam sensor. Does my engine actually have an air temp sensor??? Can someone please let me know and if so where is it actually located?
I need to tap into it to install a performance chip resistor I purchased

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Do NOT! Install this stupid resistor you bought. It's a gimmick! All it does is fool an engine into thinking it is getting more air then it actually is and dumping fuel in the engine. It does not make you more power, only that your engine will run too rich and you will waste gas. Please promptly take your cheap ebay purchase and throw it directly in the trash. Do a google search and you will see plenty of information to back this up.

Air temp sensor should be close to the air pressure sensor..............But I have to agree with the above post, not only is it a gimmick, but depending on exactly wihch sort of performance chip you are using, you run the risk of damaging the motor!

yeah, i would not recommend you play with that resistor and your ski. I bet the chip was like 35 dollars x 10k machine...nope, not a good match!
