Removing IAT Sensor

[astroracer]

What is the best way to remove the IAT Sensor from the stock elbow? I don't want to destroy it unless it is cheap enough to just go buy a new one...
Thanks

It should just push into the rubber elbow. That said, it should likewise just pull out of the elbow. Twist the sensor in the elbow a few times to make sure it's loose from the elbow and then as you twist pull it right out.

You just want to pull it out and put it back in later? On my car it just unclips and comes out with the connector..

have any brake clean? dont spray the sensor part but spray around the outside/rubber. Spray very little. It should slid out easy

Thank you guys! I just went out to the shop and used a little WD-40 on it. It took some effort but it pulled right out!
I am putting a cold air intake on my wife's Formula. It's all ready to go other then drilling a hole in the elbow and installing the IAT.
Thanks again guys.

Here are a couple of pics of the cold air kit on the '94. I bought a cheap kit off eBay and combined that with some red adapters from Silicone Intake Systems. http://www.siliconeintakes.com/ These guys have some reasonable prices on their stuff.

Here is a shot of the IAT in place.

I drilled a hole with a step bit and cleaned it up with an x-acto knife. I applied a little silicone sealer to the outside. To lock the sensor in place I cut a short piece of hose that slips over the sensor on the inside of the elbow. Does a good job and the sensor is very secure.

Nice work!
