Well, I have had my Injen RD CAI~HAI for several months but have one problem still: the air temp sensor does not match. I dunno if they just flat out sent me the wrong kit, but I am stuck now and need to correct this problem. As of now, my sensor is behind the fuse box, thus giving an in-adequate reading to my ecu and I am running rich.

 

thanks guys!? :attention

 

Can someone please help me out here.

 

Why doesnt it match? Help us out here

 

Why do you think it is running rich? According to the FSM, the intake air sensor is not used by the ECU in control of fuel delivery.

 

The 96 air temp. sensor has a hard plastic-oval shaped bracket with 2 screws on either side. The injen intructions comment about a rubber grommet, which is not on or near the air temp. sensor on my car. Also, the piping that comes with the intake has a circle hole in it and the air temp sensor mounts with to screws and is oval shaped. What gives? Can I just splice the wires and use a 97-99 air temp. sensor? Do 97-99 use a rubber grommet as aforementioned? Thanks for any help you can contribute.

 

Anything new? This is not good, I can't get a answer to a simple question? Ok, well the search feature is gone, so how would one go about getting a solid answer?

 

na i tried it , I had the same problem wit my sensor and i got one of those nipple looking sensors off a 97 and spliced the wires and it did not work, i just shoved my sensor in the pipe and it works ok

 

That sucks!!! So, you put yours inside the pipe? how did you seal it off? right now mine has duct tape on it w/out the sensor.

 

i just shoved it into the filer part around the cupling. Works for now till i get CA.

 

what is CA???

 

COLD AIR, im not sure witch one im getting yet tho.

 

This intake is supposed to be a CAI, but its not really a true CAI. It doesn't pull air from outside te engine bay, so literally, it's not a CAI. It does make the car pull hard, and I seem to think its very excellent in quality and best engineered by far.

 

Ya it seems like you get the best of both worlds with it. Im waiting till i find a great deal but im probubly gettin injen too.

 

I bet you can use an intake air sensor from a 97-99 with no problem. But if I were you, I'd just leave the IATS off altogether and leave it dangling in the engine bay, and cover the hole with duct tape or something. A lot of people here have done that with no adverse effects.

 

I have had it dangling also, but I think I am gonna try to use the 97 IATS, just for ish and giggles. It would clean up the engine bay though, so I have a project for this weekend!

 

Nope dont work, i tried it. The plug is diffrent and i tried splicing the wires and it didnt work. Dont waste your time.

 

I'm pretty sure the hole is round on my PR cai. Are you sure if you unscrew the 2 little screws on ther oval sensor its not round underneath and the ovals are just to secure it like washers?

 

If you do that make sure you secure the oval and screws inside the piping with a good sealant and thread lock the screws maybe too because if they ever came off and got swallowed you know the rest...
