Blew out the Lower IAT sensor... - SRT Forums

jayce04srt · 10-20-2009, 09:00 PM

Put in a 30/30 gauge tonight, and went to make a couple pulls on the highway to see how accurate the stock gauge was. well on the 2nd pull i went from 21 psi to 13 psi. tried one more time and couldnt make more thn 5 psi.

pulled over and noticed the IAT wasnt in the hard pipe anymore. anyone know a way to fix it without just using another rubber grommet? i dont want it to blow out again. ive already looked into the screw in agp sensor...suggestions?

The AGP own isnt a bad idea, I had the same problem. What I did was went to advanced auto and bought a harder rubber grommet that didnt have a hole in it, then I drilled a hole just slightly smaller than the sensor. Jammed that bitch in and havent had a problem since.

x2 Grommet is the only way other than AGP one.

That and the it took me like $3.00 and about 15 min to do all of it rather than all the hassle of the AGP.

I did the same thing as post 2. No problems since.

theres a kit of grommets, just use the one that fits best/most snug.

There is a pcv grommet made by "help" I found at autozone that works.

thanks guys will make a trip tonight...

so i was tinkering with my up pipe as i have to put the grommet in an noticed that i have like 3 boost leaks. two are capped vacuum hose ends that have deteriated and the rubber coupler going to the up pipe had a huge tear/chunk missing... guess i should do a boost leak test while im at it?

Probaholic1 · 10-21-2009, 10:48 PM

awwww... gotcha thanks from me too will look for it manana

Daft Punk · 10-22-2009, 07:47 AM

yeah man do a boost leak test, when i had my SRT i did one like once a month.

SRT-4EST · 10-22-2009, 10:48 AM

Here is a fairly true rule about the SRT. Do a boost leak test, fix it, and drive for a week or so. You now have a new boost leak. It is an endless cycle.

atleast your grommet blew out. Mine was sucked in so I decided to go with the AGP pipe after that

Probaholic1 · 10-26-2009, 11:04 AM

so I went to autozone picked up a grommet from the "Help" manufacture and stuck it in the pipe and looks like it worked fairly well I had to trim it a little but turned out good I think
