(i posted this on the electronics board first and got no responses, so i'm seeing if yall know) I just installed a k&n today with the intake tubing leading down in front of the engine block. my question is: on the old air box (the canister that houses the old filter) there is a bundle of wires that clip into the canister. what is this? and do i have to somehow connect it to my new setup? i wanna go and test my car out but i want to figure this thing out first.

 

Is this a TBI camaro? or a V6?

Does the thingy with wires coming out of it look like this on the inside?

 

it's a v-6...i can't tell what that's a picture of. the wires i'm talking about are coming out of the air canister that is routed to the throttle body. in my car it's in the front passenger side corner. i just found out the wires are IAT (intake air temperature). still don't know what to do w/ the wires, but i know what they are now at least.

 

Just put the IAC in a place were it can get cool air

 

You need to find a good place in the air intake tract to reinstall the IAT sensor and hook the wires back up to it. This is an important sensor that the ecm uses to adjust air/fuel ratio (along with the tps, maf or map and o2 sensors).

so just drill a hole in the tubing and secure the sensor in somehow?

 

That should work.
