I want to try the warm air theory for myself. What do I do with the harness that is connected to the air intake pipe on my after market intake system ? I have the K&N filter in the front pass. side corner in its own box. I hope I expained myself well enough:blahblah:

sounds like a intake temp sensor, is it just a little sensor with 2 wires on it and what exactly are you talking about the warm air theory

It is connected to the intake pipe about halfway between the filter & the TB

There is another thread about putting your intake filter as close as you can get to the TB and in the winter time it will improve your MPH but you will lose performance (HP) at this time of year I don't need hp with the roads here in my part of the country.

I'm not sure cause the pipe comes out of the TB makes a 90Degree right turn Then goes over to the fender makes a90 degree left turn And goes to the filter behind the headlight

sensor must be plugged in to harness..if not, check engine light will come on and your mileage and driveability will be poor....computer will think it's like 40 below if sensor is left unplugged..it will run rich all the time

i have heard of people soldering in a resistor behind the sensor and it makes it think that it is a certin temp outside reguardless of what the sensor is reading that might make it where you dont need it idk could look into it

why not just put the sensor in the intake tube instead of halfassing it

I am going to try to put the right in front of the TB . Maybe I can just get a short pvc pipe & drill a hole in it for the senscor

you can relocate the sensor inside the intake manifold.. just remove the "plug".... there's a plug for it on all 4.7L intake manifolds. the 04+ originally had a plug that said "DO NOT REMOVE" where the IAT sensor goes all you have to do it twist and remove, so it can be interchangeable with pre-03 engines that have the IAT in the manifold instead of the air box; good dodge engineering.08+ I have no clue
birth to 03 it's the 2nd runner from the drivers-side firewall same on the 04-07 just in a diffrent orientation
