Stutter/stall/hesitaition related to intake temp. sensor location?

About a year ago, I placed my ambient temp senosor directly in the intake path, so it was basically dangling in front of the MAF screen, because I have a JWT and it doesn't have a hole in the front for the snesor.

Well after a couple of days if it being there, I jumped in my car and started to acclerate and I noticed a very raw hesitaion, almost salling, the idle would drop to ~3-400 rpms when I stepped on the gas when I acclelerated from a dead stop, then it recover shortly after. So I removed the sensor from that location and placed it near the cone filter, problem solved.

A couple of a days ago, it did the same thing. I checked and the sensor was dangling around the underside of the master cylinder, moved sensor, problem solved.

It did it again last nite, but the sensor was right near the intake(cone filter)where it should be. So I left the car on, and popped the hood, pulled the sensor away from the engine, still conected of course, and the engine revovered fine to 800rpms. I am wondering what this could be?

Leaky injector(s)? I have the 0304(k s) code but don't think this could be a part of my problem, although I have heard of the 02 sensors tripping the ks code? Any thoughts?

Sorry for such a long post.
