I just installed an injen intake and I am wicked frustrated. The air charge temp sensor does not fit. Injen says it should plug right in but the stock one is a bolt in type. Does anybody know or has anybody had this problem?

 

Was that the sensor originally from your ram air scoop? or from your stock airbox?

STOCK AIRBOX.
The injen sensor is a circle and the stock is oval. So I had to tape the bottom and top. I put the injen sensor in the stock oval hole, thus leaving a gap at the top and bottom. Do you know what I am saying?

 

I'm 99 and I don't have that sensor. But with the hole in the on the Injen upper piping, you need the grommet, check and see if you have some kind of grommet from your stock airbox.

i just installed mine a couple of days ago, and the little sensor doesent fit in right. the right side sticks out a little. i just left it there. on of the screws fits in but the other screw isnt lined up perfect with the hole. so i just left it there.

 

wow i was about to post about same question i was installing it last week and had same problem. the temp. sensor is way too big for injen's pipe. i don't know what to do. any suggestions?

thanks,
Tae

 

Same problem here. I have a 97, and my sensor is located in the lower portion of the black ducting just before the air box. Mine is plastic and looks like a miniture christmas lite but a little longer and fatter. It presses into a round rubber grommet in the duct. I called Alex about it and he suggested buying a grommet at home depot, which I will try ,and maybe pep boys.

 

let me know how it works out cause im gonna redo it no Wed. mines also 97 and excatly same situation

 

I was told by adventon that I was the only one this had ever happened too. What BS!!I spent so much time on the phone with them. They said "this never happends". They kept on bouncing me around the frigin phone system. I wanted to talk to someone live. They were no help.
To resolve this problem I taped it up. I have been told from a few people that this should work. My car is running great. I love the intake. My gains seem modest.

 

You take that grommet out of the stock duct and use it on the Injen. It should say that in the instructions.

I tried already, I even reversed it. It does not fit. Its not on their instruction sheet and what they show is different from whats on the 97. I'm going to try rubber seats (the ones for water faucets) from the plumbing supply or maybe an rubber tube. I hope Alex and Injen are reading these threads so they can give us some help.

 

This is off the subject, but there's a guy that took his car in for smog and it failed. He say that the reason was because of the Injen CAI. Has anyone smog their car yet with the Injen intake?

Here's the the post just in case anyone wants to keep an eye on it.
