Thats you air intake sensor i think. That needs to be in your intake tube man! Has yours been shifting funny?

[DOHC_tuner]

yeah looks like the sensor that should be connected to your intake piping. I didnt have mine on and it would shift hard

[Seaaan]

ohhh no wonder, lol wow okay good to know thanks

[Seaaan]

stupid question number 2: where in the intake does it go or connect to?

im a noob i know gonna do it in the dark ..yay

[TheMeaningOfLife]

Any where in the tube. You might have to drille a hole and get a rubber gromet to fit over it.

You can barely see mine in the first big bend in my intake.

PFYC has a extension cable. or you could just move the whole and seal the old one.

Follow the wires from the sensor back to where they meet a thick group of wires. All you have to do is unravel a little of the black tape and pull the IAT wires out a little and it'll reach that grommet in the intake tube. Mine was the same way when I had that intake. Just make sure you pull enough out so there's a little slack in the wires when the sensor is fully plugged in the tube.
