Did you disconnect the hoses from it at any point? Make sure they aren't switched around.

Guess that eliminates that option. Must be thinking of the map/baro switch or something, I'm not quite sure. Being a '95, I don't have either...

I just put mine by the radiator hose, tried to keep it in a similar position it was with the stock intake. No problems with this setup.

I didn't know the boost sensor hooked into anything. I never saw any hose on mine, just the electrical harness. I have mine dangling down the driver side of the engine. It's been like that for two years with no problems.

I just zip tied mine to the nearest wiring harness. You can go to autozone and have them read the code for free to see if that is actually th problem.

Yup, that hose is probably the one that is supposed to be going to the boost sensor. I zip tied mine in a similiar location as the above pics.

i looked for one just about everywhere except the dealer because i dont have money for that, and so far the best place to find one is a junk yard.
