Air temp Sensor flashing hot on scanmaster

So its safe to say this is not stock my friend . I would suspect that the MAT sensor is in the neck of the filter and maybe underneath the filter were you can't see it. Here is what the MAT sensor looks like in the meantime.

Didn't TurboLink use that plug to log boost pressure way back when?

when i bought the car years ago it had a turbo link sticker on the back window. so that explains that. I guess i will do away with this add on splice for the tps. i just put this fresh motor in the car there was no place on the intake for this sensor nor did i ever see that sensor. car ran fine before though and didnt flash any codes and its the same wiring set up.. wierd. guess ill have to buy one and add it in the wiring mess.

Just cut a small hole in the filter neck and push it in.

bought a ATS sensor installed it on the neck of the filter. unplugged that connector that went to the black tube and put it to the new ats sensor. there are no codes under NAL. motor sounds a lot better. Thanks for the help
