can the car start without that sensor that plugs in on the right of the resonator that goes into the throttle body plugged in?

Yes, but don't expect it to run well...or even very long. That sensor measures the temperature of the air entering your intake.

not to mention that your Check engine Light might come on...

But why would you want to?

i accidently cut two wires today by accident when taking an intake off a car for a motor swap. sodered them back together and tried to start the car open throttle body. it didnt start. was clicking as if it wasnt receiving fuel. I figured that sensor might stop fuel from coming in because it wasnt reading any air or something. The sensor wasnt even plugged in at all... i guess ill double check those two wires maybe one of them concerned the pgm fi system

Let me get this straight...you are doing a motor swap and you don't even know how the sensor works?!?! Yikes...that's scary. Are you confident you can put the motor back? Good luck

well almost done. just have to put the drivers side axle in, exhaust manifold, and intake.

ive never worked on a 7th gen before... so knowing each sensor has been superfluous in the past.
