How do you install INJEN intake

I started installing my INJEN intake. In the directions that came w/ the intake it asked for the air temp sensor. I cannot find this anywhere on my car. Can somebody direct me to where its located. Pictures would help too. Is there a writeup of the install anywhere?

The air temp sensor is connected to the stock airbox. It is held to the strut tower by a couple of clips. If you want to see what it looks like, look at the picture in the instructions from Injen. It matches up to the flat spot of the billet adapter that comes with the intake.

There wasn't anything connceted directly to my stock airbox. can sombody show me a detailed picture of where its at? I've looked and looked, but nothing was on my airbox.

Thanks for the link, but it still doesn't show me the air temp sensor. This is the only part I cannot find. Everything else I understand how to do. Can anybody show me a pic of the actual air temp sensor on the car unmodded? I have a'97 GLE max. From what I understand it should be located near the right strut mount. Am I correct to beleive this?

Ok, after reading around I found out that some later '97, 98, and 99 model maximas dont have the air temp sensor on the stock air box but instead it is on the duct branching off of the scoope. I thought that was the sensor but wasn't sure. Now my question is... I have my sensor on the duct on my air scoope and its shaped different from the ones that are connected on the air box. Its not rectangular and it doesnt have 2 screws to hold it in place. Instead its made of plastic and is cirular. NOw does INJEN have two different model intake for '97-99 maximas to account for this? Apparently I got piping made for the maximas with the sensors on the air box. IF they don't how am I suppose to apply my sensor to this pipe? Would it work the same if I attempt to apply it

I am pretty sure they have a different intake for the 95-96, and the 97-99 Maximas. Which one did you order?

I ordered a '97 intake, but im like 99% postitive i have the wrong one now. I absolutely cannot find tha air temp sensor anywhere near my airbox like the instructions that the INJEN intake came with. After 3 hours of searching and cursing I think im sure that its incorrect. The description on the instructions indicates that its made for my vehicle tho, which really thru me off for a few hours. =\
