actually a few questions

**ksredryder** · 10-29-2010

1. What is the sensor in the intake "bend" BEFORE the MAF sensor?
2. I've cut out the cat converter and replaced it with straight pipe due to a catalyst gone bad (Iol) but haven't been able to drive it yet due to other problems (see separate post) should I expect any significant change in performance or economy. So far my best 0-60 time has been 9.24 sec (digital stopwatch) on flat stretch of road and I'm averaging 22-23 mpg combined in-town and highway driving.
3. Where the @*%! is the TRUNK LIGHT? Am I missing something? I've looked all over inside the trunk for it. And no, my car didn't come with an owners manual- I really need to get one.

Thanks

1. its the intake air temperature sensor (IAT). you need it.

2. no performance gains or very minimal.

3. why do you need a trunk light? its supposed to have one..

Thanks Bio! LOL at your answer to #3. Well ya know I've gotta have it to make sure all the cash is there when I when I return my ~ahem~ enthusiastically acquired pick-ups to my boss. Nevermind about what he does for a living. LOL

The light location on my 2000 se.

Stage 3 light from Diode Dynamics to make sure there is plenty of light to check on all things acquired that may make there way into the trunk.
