check engine light on after CAI install

Ethan79 · October 6th, 2009, 10:01 PM

ok so i just installed my cold air intake on my 98GT and there where 2 wires on the stock intake. one was for the mass airflow sensor and idk what the other one was ( nothing to plug into on new intake ). after the install the car runs fine and everything but my check engine light is on... how can i fix this??? thanks any help is appreciated

The other sensor is the Air Intake Temp Sensor and you need that to be installed for the car to run right.If there is no place to install it on the new CAI you have to Drill a hole insert the correct size grommet and Push in the Air intake temp sensor.At least thats how you have to do it with the JLTs...
