Air sensor?

What is the job of the air sensor that plugs into the CAI, and would I know if it wasn't connected properly, and/or not working?

RE: Air sensor?

it monitors intake air temp -- colder air = more fuel --hotter = lean fuel--- if it wasnt working or hooked up right your check engine light would come on

If he is talking about the MAF, it monitors air flow (MASS AIR FLOW = MAF), and yes the CEL would come on.
