So i installed my CAI

XxstarspyXX · June 21st, 2011, 08:05 AM

When i was installing my CAI i found out that my originial intake dint have a temprature sensor.......Anyone know how much damage that has done to my car? The check engine light doesnt go on for it.

No 2001-2004 have it. Just make sure to plug the hole in the intake so no un-metered air gets in

Correct, what i did was i went to autozone and got some Black RTV silicone and taped up the bung hole on one side of my CAI and then filled the whole thing up, let it cure overnight and it looks great plug seals better than putting a bolt to cover it up.

I went to lowes and got a rubber plug and shoved it in there. ^

i just covered that hole in packing tape by wrapping it around the tube like 5 times

I used a cork...

and yes I used an actual cork, not a rubber one. I'm sure a little air is still getting in there, I'll probably rtv it after my vacation, I have some sitting in the pouch of my passenger seat.
