Hole in lid for AIR Im in the process of putting my car back together, and i was wondering what to do about the hole thats in my lid. Im assuming that its the hole for the AIR pump, but i dont have that anymore. What should i use to plug that?

The IAT sensor hole? That's where the IAT goes.
What kind of lid do you have? SLP lids have a hole for the AIR tube fitting, while most other lids don't. I presume this is the one you're talking about.
Just checking.

I went to home depot and paid $1.98 for a rubber stopper. I believe the hole in the lid is 1 & 1/16in. in diameter. Then, I took it home and trimmed the excess off with a razor blade and cut a shallow seam around the stopper so it would 'grab' the lid. Hasn't budged since.

Yeah, it was the IAT sensor hole, i guess i just needed another look at the old one to realize that. I had totally forgot that that sensor was on the actual lid.

Home Depot and Lowe's have tray-racks with black
nylon snap-plugs. I bought one bag of each size
to plug the IAT and AIR holes in my lid. Don't recall
now, which ones I actually used. They look fairly
clean, better than a cork and duct tape anyway
I used some black weatherstrip cement to make the
AIR one airtight and ensure it'd stay put; the IAT
had a nice grommet for that.
