Air filter sensor

[kcsl]

I've just replaced the hose that runs from the air filter canister lid (thanks to Mr Bushwacker for suggesting a cheaper supplier than Toyota - £58+Vat for a bit of rubber hose...flippin cheek..).

Anyways, I noticed a hole in the canister lid and a quick search on here told me that some sort of air temp sensor gizmo should fit in the hole.

I've had a look and can't find it anywhere.

Does anybody know where it connects to, or what hole in the chassis the wire disapers into. If I can't find it I can just seal up the hole.... but I'm guessing that Toyota fitted it for a reason, so who am I to argue..

Thanks,
Joe

That's the post I found that told me I was missing something.

Do you know where the end of the cable goes?
I crawled all over the that side yesterday and couldn't see anything dangling loose. So all I can think of is that at some point, some machanic pushed it into a hole because he didn't know what it was for.

I thought if I could find where the cable came from, it might give me a place to start looking.

Thanks,
Joe

Sorry dude, didn't read your first post properly.
Here's where the cable goes....




p.s. this is on the 2.4 engine, but may be similar to yours

Nope, still can't find it. My engine seems quite different from yours.
I've looked all over the place and I can't see anything dangling.

I give up.

I'm just going to stick a bung in the hole.
It's been running (I think) perfectly well without it so who am I to complain.

Thanks for that, I'll have another look tonight but I expected to see it dangling down...
Time to start crawling under the old girl with a spot light.
