Installation
Steps and Tips Continued
After removing the
temp sensor continue by removing the four bolts
in the throttle body and pull the throttle body
out. Install the spacer then the gasket
then using the supplied bolts reinstall the
throttle body.
Next, remove the
rest of the airbox including removing the rubber
grommets below the box. Install the new
rubber grommets into the hole and assemble the
air deflector. Place the air deflector in
place and loosely install all the fasteners.
Carefully install the temp sensor into the air
tube. Use a little petroleum jelly or
silicone spray to ease insertion.
Install the air
tube, reducer, and clamps. Attach the plug
to the temp sensor and tighten all the
fasteners. Install the air cleaner and
double check your work. Connect the
battery and test drive the Jeep.
Results
The expected
results of the Airaid CAI were immediately
noticeable. The throaty sound from the
intake allowing more air to freely flow into the
engine was present. The Jeep seemed to
have a bit more torque at the lower rpm range.
Christine's Jeep is an automatic which tends to
hide performance improvements. The
whistling sound caused by the spacer that is
documented by so many others is there too.
Only really noticeable at lower rpm and during
partial acceleration.
Christine noted
the mpg readout on the computer went above 18
mpg which was 2-3 mpg higher than before.
