MG MGF Technical - My IAT sensor multiplug is missing!???

I noticed today that there is no multiplug connected to my IAT sensor!!

There is no obvious wire or plug elsewhere in the engine bay. Where is it?

Does anyone know where thre multiplug joins the loom or where it goes to?

Here is a picture form Dieters website (thanks Dieter)to show the sensor and multiplug

Forgive me for posting here as I don't have an F but have recently installed a 1.8K into a midget.
Assuming you have an EU3 engine (aprox 2000 -) then the IAT sensor is only bunging a hole up in the plenum! The ECM gets its inlet air temperature reading from the combined inlet air temp and MAP sensor (squarish sensor held in with two torx screws on the top of the plenum)
I thought the same as you when I first looked around my wife's 25, it seems an expensive way to fill a hole.

Given the ruthlessness of 'Project Drive' - MG Rover's cost cutting programme - I bet that leaving a redundant sensor in place is not as expensive as you might think - presumably this is cheaper than tooling up a blanking plug or re-tooling the inlet manifold! LOL

We've seen something similar before - reference to the cigar lighter that has a built in illumination ring complete with bulb, yet left unconnected...
