I intalled the intake jsut fine but theres a hole on the top of the air filter. Right under the word stillen. I read the intructions and it says thats where the Air temperture sensor goes but 97 maxima dont have one. What do i do about the hole?

 

dont worry about it. its just sucking air from the engine bay anyways so its about the same temp. no worries.

 

If it is a hole that lets unfiltered air into the intake, you need to cover it up. Dirt in the combustion chamber is not a good thing.

 

Wh doesn't your maxima have an intake temp sensor? Every other maxima does.

 

Would covering it up with duct tape work? or would it melt?

had the same problem, mine's been covered with duct tape for the past 2 yrs with no probs!

 

yeah ive had the same thing with my stillen
i just taped it up
but i have no idea what to do with the sensor part.
it also says at #8. 97 doesnt have an air temp sensor and just dissregard that part of the instructions.
it looks like 96 and lower have the sensor, 97+ dont

 

All 4th gens have a IAT sensor, the 97+ just looks different and is actually plugged into the snorkel air duct as far as I remember.

 

97-99 intake sensor:


Yes installed correcty, which means you need the stock rubber grommet and cut and resolder the wires longer.
