On the stock air box('96) there is an O2 sensor just infront of the MAF. On the CAI there is nowhere for this to go, so I am left with an open plug that used to plug into it. My question is....Does this affect anything with the engine to leave it off? Or should I somehow rig the CAI to include this sensor. None of the install helps I could find had anything to say about this sensor.
Help is appreciated.....Aus

 

bump,

i dont think theres a o2 sensor just in front of the MAF

 

no o2 sensor...just a temp sensor

you can do what you want....i plan on installing it when i get my cai.....

if you do so, be sure to measure twice and cut once.

 

just hang it anywhere or tape it down. do as you will to it. just dont cut it off.

 

OK, This is what I did....
When I installed the CAI I noticed on the small pipe that there was a rubber seal with a plastic stopper in it. I though, "I bet the temp sensor will fit in there". Well after pulling the CAI apart and taking that pipe off the car I found that it did fit, bit snug but it fit. I had to cut the rubber a bit on the inside so that there will be good airflow thru the sensor, but I think it is a great solution. No screws or nothing. It should hold all by itself. But I didnt want to trust it so I just Zip tied it around the pipe, just to make sure it doesnt fall out.
Good easy solution overall. Considering I had some JB weld and was all set to cut some holes in the pipe and Rig up a bracket for the stupid sensor.
Thanks for the help...
