Whats this sensor for?

[powellsd]

SO the other day i was changing out the fuel filter in the car and i removed the airbox to get better access and notice this sensor just laying underneath it. At first i thought it went into the airbox but nothing there and couldnt find anything it would go into. Here is a pic of it.

air temprature sensor should plug into the side of the air box or hoses somewhere

thats what i thought but no holes on the airbox anywhere. i will have to look around there again.

Check the air box cover or under the air box cover or the intake arm...

i will look at the intake boot. there is nothing on the side or under the box and dont remember seeing anything around the lid.

thanks guys for the quick response. i appreciate it.

It plugs right into the air filter box above the charcoal canister towards the throtle body hose clamp.

by the looks of it, it looks like it was never plugged in because its quite dirty

[powellsd]

ok. looked today and notice a hole on the back side facing the firewall. I didnt even see it there and i had the whole filter box out looking all over it the day i swapped out the fuel filter. The car seems to be running a little better as well since it is in the correct area.

Thanks

Guys
