After some searching around TN... i know the importance of the IAT sensor, but i have a question about it...
The filter on my ct-26 has crapped out, it was a K&N, by melting/cracking off of the housing - and now i am forced to run a crappy generic filter for a bit... the tip on the filter is metal, and thus i cannot shove the IAT sensor into the end like i could on the K&N (it has a rubber end)...
my question is, will anything really change if i leave the sensor hang in the engine bay? The filter is basically in the center of the bay anyways, and the sensor would rest next to the driver strut mount, as opposed to being inside of the filter... Even if the temperature reading is different... how much of a change does the IAT sensor make for the ECU when adjusting to temperature ranges?
thanks for any help
