what???? I thought taht tube was to be used for the probe looking thing that was in the old intake. I put that tube on the little niple on the AEM intak and I stuck the probe (sensor) into that tube. Its been running fine like that for the past 15,000mi

I think everyone is gettin a little confused. I got the short ram made for 94-97 accords. The instructions are probably generic for all cars but they send specific parts that are different for 5th gen and 6th gen. When installing an intake on the 5th gen the breather hose and coolant hoses are like welded together, forcing you to take both hoses out as one piece, and replacing them with two separate hoses. AEM also gave me a foam filter for the FIA controller line and a vacuum cap for plugging a vacuum line, both which were not needed because i have the f22b2 not the f22b1 vtec.

As for sensors and all this other stuff you guys are talking about, i have no idea im just talking about what i had do to with my 94 accord lx....

I did install a CAI on my friend's '95 LX and no draining was required.
