Need help. cleaned TB now have a problem
i just finished cleaning my TB, and when i was putting my weapon-r intake back on i accidently broke the sensor inside the intake behind the cone. that big black sensor, i think its called the MAF sensor right? anyways, once i put everything back together, and yturned on the car, the engine is really struggling to stay alive, there is more smoke than normal coming out of the exhaust and i can really smell it too. is this happening because i broke that sensor, or did i do something wrong when i cleaned the TB (i used the instrucitons from the how to section) or is this normal right after you clean the TB?

i broke the little white piece of plastic that is the actual sensor inside the tube.

no, you know that second sensor that goes in the intake? well when i pulled the intake appart, i didnt take notice as to where it went, and i thought that it was suppose to connect to the sensor inside the tube, well after i broke it i realized it was originally just dangling in there.
let the flaming begin

Don't drive without it. It'll do more bad than good and you might end up causing even more damage. Your engine doesn't know how much air is going into your engine so it might give too much or too little fuel or just turn off all together.
