i recently installed an intake on my 99 se. the check engine light came on so i did a self test. i gave me a code 01 04. 01 04 is intake air temp. sensor. how would i fix that?

 

Do a search on intake air temp. I think I saw somthing about needing to place it in a cretian way or somthing.

 

you will need to zip tie it somewhere close to the filter. i have a midpipe on my intake so there is a place for it. otherwise just tie if off close to the filter. you will have to cut the tape that the sensor has on it so you can get some slack.

 

thanks sloppy,you were talking about the boost sensor right?. i tried it with both of them and it did'nt work. any other ideas? any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated

 

5th gen??

 

i am not familiar with a boost sensor on the intake or even on the car. we may be talking about the same thing but calling it different names. the sensor i am talking about is located in the factory air scoop. if im not mistaken, it plugged in the top. since putting on your intake, you should ziptie that one to your filter. the only other sensor on the intake is maf sensor and you would know if that went bad because you could not rev about 2500rpms. i would try and disconnect the battery overnight, at least 8 hours or so along with having that sensor ziptied around on or on the filter. let me know if this does not clear it up.

 

i tried that. it did'nt work. any other ideas?

 

i would take a look at the sensor to see if it been cut or damaged in any way. after that i would take it autozone and have the code pulled for free. i know you already did that but just in case it might have more than one.

 

the sensor look ok, and auto zone won't do a check on it becuse it is forigen. thats what they said anyway

 

ive heard some guys say that auto zone would not scan theirs either but they did mine when i went so im not sure where to go on this now. you could pay some one to do a diagnostic but your looking at around 60-65 bucks. if the sensor is intact and its situated near the intake then im baffled as to what it could be. the only thing i could think is that there is more than 1 code.

 

ok man. thanks for all your help. dose anyone else know what i should do?
