I just purchased a AEM CAI for ITR
but it has one hole to plug only
I believe that hole is for the tube that goes from valvecover

on my old CAI. it has two hole,
one is for valvecover. the other one is for a plug from my car.
looks like a sensor.
my concern is...what do I do with the plug / sensor. where should I connect that plug to if the CAI has only one hole

 

Just drill another hole and install the grommet from your old CAI. The sensor is the intake air temperature sensor.

 

just wondering how come an original ITR doesn't have that sensor at all
and if I don't plug that sensor. will it throw an engine light?

 

yeah you'll throw a CEL if im not mistaken.

The ITR has the sensor located on the intake manifold. The sensor helps the computer determine proper fuel metering, so I'd suggest installing it correctly.

 

if this is the case
my SI has swapped B18c5. which means the TypeR
can I connect that plug to the intake manifod like the ITR?

Yes, you should have the sensor on the intake manifold plugged into the wiring harness where your Si's old sensor used to be.

 

yeah the ITR has the IAT on the intake manifold. What motor/year car are you putting this on? 96-00 ex? those are the cars with the IAT on the intake tube.

 

bump

 

what is IAT?
the B18c5 is in a 99-00 US SI / CAN SIR

IAT is the intake air temperature sensor, which is what we're discussing here. As its name implies, it tells the ECU the temperature of the air being drawn into the motor.

 

I do appreicate for your help
u guys you have answered all my questions!:&gt;
