Intake Problem

I have a 98 Impreza 2.2l and I got an intake for it. How do I go about getting the sensor off of the stock housing. I'm a newbie here so the help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

the sensor should just come off easily... there should just be a hose-clamp that holds it on. and you can just loosen that and it comes off.... unless its a different problem?

yeh but the sensor is inside a little black box thing and there is a wire that plugs into the box. can i just unplug the wire and do away with the sensor and housing?

Do away with the sensor? Don't do that. It's there for a reason. Doesn't your aftermarket intake have a provision to accept the sensor?

Yea, your intake should have all the needed hose nipples/mating positions to match up to the stock parts. If it there is a part on the intake that is obviously not there and IS there on your stock setup, you probably have the wrong intake. I beleive your car is a OBDII vers. where the '95 and older are OBDI and have a very different sensor than that of the later model Subies. Make sure your intake is for the later model versions....good luck.
