i want to know if there are any sensors that i hve to worry about when installing an intake on a 4afe. i also want to know what the wire coming out of the stock filter box is and what to do with it after i mount the new intake. it the sensor in the wire coming out of the box? or do i have to pull the sensor out of the box itself, stick it in the intake pipe, then re-attach the wire? oare there any other problems/issues i might encounter? thanx all for the info.

hey i asked this question a while back, apparently it just reads the intake temperature, so u could leave it somwhere near the intake and it would work fine... thats what i did and i've had no problems with it.

isnt there a way to tamper with it so it makes more air be sucked in?? idk where i heard about this but some thing about if u re-wire it or something that it'll cause the engine to suck in more air...i could be completely off but i do remember hearing this somewhere
dont i need to attach the maf or afm or whatever it is? if so then where is it? if not than what are the extra wires and stuff for? can sum 1 tell me exactly what they did to install theirs?

im not sure about the 4afe but on the 4age.. i bought an adapter plate that Bolted to my AFM & from their you can either run it like that (Short Ram) or you can run piping for a (cold air) If you have an intake temp sensor or any additional wires in your air box, run a small pipe or cold air setup & mount the sensors in line after the filter

sweet thanx all, so i jsut have to take off everything up to the intake manifold, strap on the new intake and stick the temp sensor into the hole, is that right?

ahhhh dammit! i just went to take a better look at it and theres a pipe/tube that goes from the center of the hose that goes between the filter and the manifold to the other side of the manifold and then a wire comez out of that. what's that for? i can try and get a picture of it but it's a bit hard to get under there...

Uhm, only way to get more air sucked in is to add forced induction.
As for the sensor, it would be smart to put it into the intake pipe, having it wiggle around in the engine bay would give the ECU wrong readings as temps can be different in the enginebay and intake duct. When it reads wrong, your fueling isnt exactly what its supposed to be and this can affect engine running and mileage.
the pictures are below, in the first and second pic the tube is circled in red coming out of the pipe that goes from the manifoild to the filter, in the third, is the small pipe going underneath the manifold to the other side (red arrow), in the last is the thing that is on the wire coming out of the small tube in the second picture (circled in red), i don't know what to do with that damn tube!
