Panopticon Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 no. Does your intake have an air temp sensor? Im not sure about your particular engine, but won't the ecm retard timing if the sensor is busted or broken? Thats what i heard anyway, don't quote me on it 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89oldscutlass Posted June 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 yes i put that sensor in the tube i drilled a hole in the side of the tube and installed the sensor so it would look like a factory install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89oldscutlass Posted June 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 If that sensor was bad wouldnt it show up on the computer.I had my brothers garage put it on the computer to check for bad sensors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, put the stock airbox back in, unless you have the MAF setup- try getting a '89+ airbox and getting the updated memcal to disable the MAF. Try it and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Prolly lost some low end torque, and gained some high end HP, thats prolly why you felt the less throttle response Robby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
