Replace IAT? While trying to pull my IAT sensor out to put in the new lid, I accidentally broke the plastic 3 pronged cage that covers the sensor. Will I need to replace the sensor for this little plastic piece, or will it work fine as is? Thanks in advance.

nahh- save your money, buy a 4.7Kohm resistor from radio shack (50 cents?) it will giv your computer a constant 55-57 degree reading. ive had this for a year now, no driveability probs or anything bad. supposedly good for a few hp too

untill he starts gettin to much timing in hot weather and gets ping because the computer cant compensate for the hott *** summer air goin in. depends where he lives but i wouldnt do that mine has the little cage partly broken off its just fine , the cage i think onlyjust is there to protect from large debris but i dunno why there would be any, just use it ifu have an issue then change it.

Mine has had the prongs gone for around 4 years with no issues. As long as the censor is not damaged you'll be fine. I agree with what was said above as well. Its best to just let the computer compensate for timing.

LS1 Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor (98-02) (AC-Delco #213-243) = 12160244
A good place to find almost every part number.
