Bottom line: the IAT sensor reads the intake air temp and helps adjust fuel, etc. for maximum efficiency. If the sensor is just hanging in the engine bay it will be reading temps way higher than what'* really going into your throttle body and you will most likely be running lean (I think).
You want it to read the actual intake air temperature, thus the advice given above.
