Rep Power: 0 My AIT Sensor not connected to my intake, whats gonna happen?
I just installed my AEM V2 Air induction system!! and my AIT Sensor won't reach the hole on the pipe.. no matter what I do it won't reach it... is it gonna affect anything if I don't plug in the AIT sensor to the intake? am I gonna have any problem?
Also, the sensor won't fit to the grommet that comes with the intake... What should I do to fit the sensor to it?

Rep Power: 0 yes it will, carefully peel the tape back down the wires, youll get to a point where 3 wires are in the same taped configuration, keep going on with the tape, unspiraling it down the wires, and youll get to where the wires go into a plastic shroud of some kind. Discard the tape you just removed. Seperate the two wires that go to the AIT sensor from the other wires, and taped them up in a spiral by themselves, then repeat with the other wires. Its sort of long and complicated, but thats what I did. When I say tape, I mean electrical tape, duct tape conducts electricity, so you dont want to use it.
With the sensor and gromet, you need to twist the sensor, 45 degrees clockways, and couterclockways, alternating between the two when you push the sensor in, and make sure you dont push the gromet INTO the intake.
Hope this helps!

Rep Power: 0 I had to use my stock hose and the one they supplied so there wouldn't be a kink in the hose. I also cut the hose at an angle so it would fit the angle it is at better.

Rep Power: 0 I also have the same problem my ait sensor is just barely long enough after I popped a cable stay out and made it work but I will try that method you mentioned to see if that works.

Rep Power: 303 Not plugging it into the air intake will give false air intake tempature readings and could effect performance and drivability a little. But making it fit into the ruber grommet can be a pain, try a very little bit of dish washing soap maybe as a lubricant. Or if its like my Injen intake was i split the hose that the kit came with and sliced out maybe a 1/64" of thickness so the hose fit better into the hole. As far as the sensor reaching the hole mine fit perfect so id follow thier suggestion above.

Rep Power: 314 Awww man, I wish I got to your threa earlier. I didnt cut anything... I just bent the black plastic piece that is just on top of the head of the engine that kind of holds the wire down. And the tube, I was able to use the one AEM supplied but it was pain to get it on. But the clamps didnt all fit.
