Post by cbjones26 » Sun Sep 27, 2009 11:49 am

ive searched but my search foo isnt to good! ok i have a aem cai installed on my car but i can not get the air temp sensor that plugs into the pipe before the TB to stay in the pipe i have even tried super glue but that doesnt work either? the person i bought the cai from tried silicone but he said that didnt work to long and he ended up ziptieing it? what is the best way to make this sensor secure? i dont really wanna zip tie it down!

My CAI doesn't have any where to plug the sensor in so all I did was drop it down the hole into the inner fender where the filter sits.

Plug the hole, and tie the sensor out of harms way. As long as it is getting a temp reading near the air inlet, it should be fine.

Or just wrap a little tape around the end of the sensor, just enough to make it fit nice and snug in the hole.
