I bough an intake from 95celgt (legit seller...and good stuff btw)
In the kit...he gave me a tube to join the intake pipe (from a small exit halfway on the pipe) to the valve cover but when Ive installed the intake I tough that the tube was to connect the air temp sensor to the intake (isnt a bad idea, after all, I thinK...because the sensor fits really well in the tube and it looks to be stable there) I already have a tube goin from the intake throttle body to the valve cover..and my question is....should I remove that tube and join the intake to the valve cover with the tube that 95celgt gave me and then drop the sensor in the filter ...or just leave it like that and ill be fine??? |

It really doesn't matter. What's screwing everyone up is that some 5S's [the older ones I think - IDK] have a vent from the valve cover [VC] to the throttle body [TB]. Some of them have a vent from the VC to the stock rubber intake pipe. Just run it the way you want but make sure all openings are capped and at least one line runs to the VC to vent the top of the engine.
As for your intake temp sensor - you can just leave it in the engine bay [I originally zip tied it to the strut tower brace] or better yet drill a hole and actually install it into the new intake [see my profile for it's current location]. Are the ones vented to the TB auto's perhaps? I know I have worked on at least one. Maybe Ngofcukingway's Camry which was auto.
