no place on inatke for mass air flow sensor - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #9461 11 posts Started by belizecelica
Installed a modified civic short ram intake on an ST but i noticed a sensor on the stock intake. There is no place to fit on the new intake. What should i do? I was told to stick a resistor in the plugs. Will this take care of the problen??
drill a hole and stick the grommet from the stock intake box in the hole and push in the temp sensor.

Yup. And like 97sccelica said, its not a mass airflow sensor, its and intake temperature sensor.
thanks for the info, i was going to drill a hole to make the sensor fit, but what about the resistor fix?? Thats what i have in there now and it seems to work fine. Is this bad for the engine???
its a hack mod,

its best for the ecu to kow the temp of the air going into the engine.

get the sensor back in, but for now, your ok

Yeah, definitely drop the resistor. I doubt it will on a 7a because of the way the ecu works, but it very well could do damage to your engine.
in the future just buy an intake for a 93-97 corolla, lol
I had the same problem the other day. Just drill a hole and put it in!

why did i not have one of those >confused.gif> all my friends were suprised i didnt and frankly so was i

thanks guys, i have drilled the hole and replaced the sensor, if i knew a corolla intake would fit i woudl have used that, but at the time I didnt, damn, anyway, the intake still works well, so no problems, just had to put a little more manpower into it.
