Default Problem With AEM CAI Install

Havin trouble installing this AEM cold air intake. I got a 98 ex, the intake is made for 96-00 ex. According to the directions, the PCV breather pipe is supposed to go into the rubber grommet closest to the throttle body and the temp. sensor is supposed to go in the other grommet. If so, what is the "nipple" between the two grommets for? I plugged off the grommet closest to the throttle body thinkin the breather pipe goes in the "nipple" and the temp. sensor goes in the grommet farthest from the throttle body...is this correct?> anything helps.

I believe, not 100% sure i haven't had experience with that particular one, but I believe there should be some sort of hose that goes from the nipple to a location on the valve cover... that is how mine is run on my 94 dx. This may be wrong, so if anyone else knows for sure it would be great to know.

Yup the breather hose from the valve cover goes to the opening after the temp sensor.

Yeah, just find a suitable length of hose. The way I made the intake from a '93 Accord work on my '92 civic was to actually wrap the hose around the intake tube before connecting it to the breather. Otherwise, I believe you could install a filter end to the breather(and just seal off the "nipple"), as it's the vacuum at the PCV valve into the manifold that draws air into the breather, not the force of air in the intake.
