alright ( i stole this pic from the forum, thanks to whose ever it is : ) but here is my problem

the guy who isntalled my short ram intake said i didnt need this black box back hooked up again. I am not sure what the black box is call or anything like that, but i circled it in the picture that is attatched to this post.

SO basically i was wondering, does this need to be hooked up for the car to work right, and if so... is it messing up my car royally by not having it in right now, and secondly what is this thing called?

please help me ASAP i dont wanna drive ne more on it if i need it

thanks

(PS) the box is circled in red, real easy to see, cant miss
thanks guys!

 

HOLY @%( THAT'S THE MAS SENSOR!!! Get that thing on RIGHT AWAY!!!! This is the lil sensor that tells the engine how much air is coming in so it can mix in a corresponding amount of fuel... without it, ur gonna ROYALLY **** your engine. I wouldnt even drive it, get it towed to the guy who installed it and make him fix it! If there is any engine damage, make the guy who installed ur air filter pay for it... that sux for u

 

seconded


WADAD

 

thirded! (is that a word?)

 

fourthed heheh your ****ed if your engine gets damaged. tell that guy he is a dip****

 

alright, in progress getting that thing back on. How did u get the MAS off the stock filter case... i cuold only get one of the 4 screws out, and others just turn and turn and nothing happens. I need to get this done tonight because of work in the morn.

thanks

 

The world is full of idiots!

the guy that said " you don't need your MAS"

 

but hey ya dont need it if ya dont want it just prepare to suffer the consequences when something goes wrong wit your engine.....

 

Get an impact wrench to get the remaining screws off of the stock airbox. If not, you run the risk of tearing the plastic up. I think you can also use some needlenose pliers to hold the other end of the bolt down while you wrench away at it.

But yeah, go punch your installer in the face.

"Oh that thing? Nah, just leave it hanging there."
God, I'm glad he didn't suggest cutting the wires so you could just remove it completely from the engine bay. Dumbass.

 

woooah yeah man.. u need that.. heh.. very much so...

 

i broke the plastic thign... that would have hold it to get the nut off or whatever.. any suggestionson how to get it off now?

sorry guys

 

this really sucks, ive been working for almost an hour on these damn screws, can i just break this thing off or is there anther way. the plastic thing broke that would have made it easy to hold that flat end to get off, but now since thats broke i ahve no idea what to do

 

I had to use a pair of channel lock pliers and had a friend hold the inside flat bolt while I used a rachet to remove the nuts. They will come off, but it is easiler to have a second person hold it for you.

 

what happens to the engine without the MAS and if it happens how much is it to get fixed (hopefully that guy will fix it for me because i think it happend)

 

im not sure what happend, but whatever it is i hope putting the MAS on fixes it or else im FU()ED
