How do u remove the IAT sensor?

Post by Alex Kurdian » Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:10 pm

Hey Guys
Does anyone know how to remove the IAT from the air intake snorkle? Does it just pull out or what?

edit: just went and checked mine, its been so long, i dont think it will just snap out, i think what i did was take a pair of snips and snip the 4 tabs accessed through the side of the snorkel so i could pull it free.

i could snag a picture but u probably dont need a pic to figure it out.. ;)

If u had to force it in there how is it loose? I doubt it will fall out, but what I did was put a small hose clamp around the little nipple it goes in on the snorkel for good measure.
