4th Generation Air Temp. tube questions (Intake Install)

I just installed a Weapon-R Dragon intake a few hours ago. The intake has three inlets in a row. I put the hose on from the PVC port and the other from near the bottom of the car near the firewall. The other tube (which I think is the air temp. hose sensor, from searching earlier) was too small to fit the inlet so I plugged the tube with a screw and used electric tape on the other inlet. I knew this isn't a good idea since my cel came on after driving around a little. Do you guys think if I purchase some vacuum caps that will work for the unused inlet on the intake tube? Also, how about the air temp tube? Do you think I should keep it plugged, unplug it, or try to find a way hook it up to the intake? I've read many treads and there seems to be a lot of different opinions on the air temp tube. If it does need to be hooked up to the intake maybe I could find an adapter of some sort that would fit the air temp tube on one end and fit 10mm hose at the other end. Maybe this would solve the problem. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks for listening

Mousiee

Found the solution. Went to Pep Boys and found an intake kit for 5.99. It included several fitting vacuum line adapters. In it I found a 5mm to 10 mm adapter. I just cut a piece of the supplied vacuum tube and connected it to the third intake inlet. Then connected the vacuum hose to the adapter with a hose clamp and connected the 5 mm hose to the other side of the adapter. Now it's nice and snug and no cel; thus far.

Thanks
