Flow (MAF) sensor .
Loosen the hose clamp on the air filter and remove it
from the vehicle.

nuts, connectors, and screws are tight.

intake tube as shown, and then tighten the hose clamp.
Next, install the weather strip on top of the CAD, starting at the right fender working your way towards the
front of the vehicle.
WARNING! If your vehicle has a Vehicle E mission Control Infor mation decal affixed to the factory airbox, a new replacement label must be obtained and installed in a readily visible position in the engine compartment in order to remain CARB compliant. Failure to do so will prevent the vehicle from passing a smog check.
Replacement labels can be ordered from your local dealership. Regulations state that the VECI label shall not be
affixed to any equipment which is easily detached from the vehicle. Label placement, under the hood on a painted surface is recommended.
