Is it black and kinda pointy? I had on in my FX-GT and just left it dangling, so it might be ok.

Air temp sensor
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

YES Air Temp Sensoir. with summer coming on you'll want to be plumbing it back in to the intake pipe. Try putting it as close to the throttle body as possible. It sensors the air temp and send the signial to the ECU. with this info the ECU determins the amount of fuel its going to deliver into the engine. so it is quite important

Although in saying that its just a trimming kinda thing. Engine doesn't so much rely on the sensor for how much air the engine is using, just to fine tune the signal its getting from MAP/AFM. If its there you should probably have it in though
