Default Intake problem

I was trying to figure out a way to remove the resonator from the intake pipe and seal it up. I decided to just order the vortech 90 degree pipe. I had enough trouble threadding the air temp tensor(broke a couple of them). Anyway it's having trouble starting now, I have to hold the throttle open. I never drilled the hole for the vaccum tube either. Could that be it? Also I didn't thread the air temp sensor all the way because it started to crack. It might not be in far enough.

if you don't have a tight seal from the mass air to the TB, you will have problems with the car running. I have that elbow and the Air temp sensor didn't just fit, had to get a part from a friend of mine.

What part? I've been looking for a threaded sensor. Can't find one.

It's the second vent tube for your Optispark. Better to drill the hole and hook it up since an open ended hose will probably have more risk of moisture getting into the opti than if it wasn't vented at all.
