This weekend I changed the intake manifold gasket on my car. It's a 99 civic sedan with a b-16a and I have a AEBS intake manifold on it.I also had to fix one of the vaccum lines in the back of the intake mani. Well got everything fixed and the idle is good and steady now but the problem is when I took it for a road test to make sure everything is okay not so much. When driving the car once it get's to the v-tec range the car falls on it's face really bad. It won't climb threw the rev range after about 4700-5000. I ran code on it and it says the check engine light is on because of the air intake tempature sensor. It's not hooked up and it hasn't been for the last 2 years I have had the motor in the car and I've never had a problem till now. I reset the computer and I even ran my Skunk2 ECU I have sitting around and nothing seems to help can anyone tell me what's going on or help me out please.

Dumb suggestion, but maybe hook up the intake air temp sensor?

It hasn't been hooked up for two year's and I have never had an issue. So thanks anyways.

 

You're welcome. But really, you're throwing a code for the IAT sensor and it isn't hooked up. Is there any other logical fix for that?
