Default air temp sensor relocate w/o kit?

I was curious if anyone has tried to relocate the air temp sensor with out buying the $40 kit. If so what did you need?

Don't waste your money, it won't buy you anything power wise.

If you insist on moving it, buy some correct gauge wire, wire connectors, a plug for the old sensor location, and a rubber grommet the sensor will fit in for the new location. Drill a hole where you want the sensor and insert the grommet. Snip the wires to the sensor connector and insert the added length of wiring from the old location to the new. Plug the old location.

This will take you 20 minutes, cost $10 or less and gain you nothing.

I have the same question.

On my 93 the air temp sensor is in the coupler.
I just bought a replacement coupler and there is no provision for an air temp sensor, so I will have to move mine. Where do you move it to.

Mine is just behind the airfilter on the pass side drilled right into the hard plastic on the side. Real easy job!

Same here, piece of cake. Don't waste money on the kit. Get a grommet that fits your sensor and drill the appropriate sized hole and extend your wires. I got a new lead so I'd only have one splice in each wire.
