air temp sensor
I need help... When I removed the factory air box on my 97 to add a cone filter, I relocated the air temp sensor after the MAF in the box. Now my check engine light won't go off. I've tried reseting it but it comes back on. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I never moved or disconected my MAF. Simply removed factory plumbing and added the cone where the stock air box was. the only thing I touched was the air temp sensor by relocating it. Should the cone or shifting the temp sensor through the light? Or is there another problem at the same time?

My air temp sensor is taped to the shock tower right underneath the intake. I've never had a problem (and neither has anybody else here), so you must have another problem. You better get the diagnostic code from the Check Engine light.

I had the same problem when I installed my K&N cone filter. I heard that this might have happened, and I guess I wasn't worried about it. About 2 weeks later the engine light just went away by itself. I think I've read other posts with the same experience.

does the temp sensor matter??? i got CAI, and my temp sensor is out there hanging and ziptied somewhere...and i found out that there is a pre drilled hole on my cai that's for me to put the air temp sensor in. if i leave the sensor out...will it affect my car's performance? thanks

I thought CEL do not go off until reset... So even if you correct the problem, don't you have to reset the ECU?
