i jus got my cai in the mail. i know how to install it but theres a sensor on the stock intake not too far from the throttle body. im assuming its some sort of air sensor. on the cai its got a hole drilled already for the sensor but the problem is, the sensor is held in on the stock intake by a rubber piece with a clip, anyone have any tips on how to get that sensor in there and that'll hold real tight?

 

anyone?

 

that rubber grommet that goes in the drilled hole should have a slit in the middle of it, push it in the hole until it kinda of pops in place, the sensor just pushes into the grommet, it holds itself in place

 

im not gonna check now cause its almost bed time, but i dnt think it came with a grommet, but thats a good idea i can always scurry up a grommet. should the intake kit should have came wit a grommet?

Yes... go look through the box and whever the intake is sitting for the grommet. I almost lost mine when I put a CAI on my Civic...

 

It also depends where he bought it from. Some places don't include everything you need. When I say 'some places' I mainly mean EBay. Despite intakes from EBay will get you the same result as AEM, Injen, etc they tend to skimp on stuff that you'll need.

can you please elaborate? i ordered one off ebay and its coming soon.

if theres no hole for the IAT, do i have to make one and stick a rubber grommet into it?

 

i ordered mine of ebay, i dnt think it came with a grommet. wat can i use for a grommet? is it possible to grab the rubber part off the stock one or would an auto parts store have wat i need?

 

anything?

 

Any auto parts store will have a grommet that fits it

 

oh tru, ill run up there today maybe, the sensor thats on the intake tho can i unplug it so i can bring it into the auto parts store?

Haha. I remember being new at this too

Yes, you can unplug the sensor after the car is off at the autoparts store and take it in to get the proper sized grommet

 

thanx for the advice i put it in. it sounds insane. i can never drive a car without vtec and a cai. thanx again
