I Bought a 97 max from a stealership and it had in aftermarket intake, i took it off and bought a 96 stock intake box from ebay. the box itself has a 3 to 4 inch wire that comes off with a connector on it, My problem is i have no clue where this wire goes to. I looked all around in my engine bay and the only wire not being used is by the drivers side head light but i dont think its it because it dosent even come close to reaching it. Any idea's

 

On the intake there is a BLACK tube witha pink sticker on it. It has a connector plugged into it. The black tube is the MAF. Follow that connector from the tube using the wires coming from the connector. You'll get to a single bunch ow wires covered in ELECTRICAL tape. One set is the wires you followed and another set The other set, if you follow it away from the tape, has a connector at the end. That's the IAT.

 

I followed that wire everywhere it went and there is no connectior that is not being used. would it have anything to do becuase its a 96 air intake box and my car is a 97. If anyone has a chance it would be a GREAT help if they could maybe take a picture of where the wire is that there connecting it to. Ive looked everywhere and cant find where the hell this wire goes.Thanks alot

 

If there is a connector at the end of the other strands of wire then that's kit. Think about it. Why would you have a free connector now if your intake is still in the car? That connector should be have a plastick half circle with a small resistor between the "arch". You replace that with the one on the new box. Take pics or something.

 

the 95-96 airbox is different then the 97-99. The 95-96 boxes have the air temp. sensor in them, kinda oval shaped with 2 screws holding it in the box. On 97-99 the air temp. sensor is in the "ram air" snorkel, and it is a probe style sensor....and it pierces a rubber grommet to stay in place. You must have the 97 one plugged in so dont worry about the 96 one, just leave it be.

 

awesome thanks alot, was driving me nuts
