I was about to install my b&m shiftplus and when i opened my hood i noticed a tube not connected to anything... sorry for my stupidity, but i'm not very knowledgeable about any of the tubes or anything in my car..
this one that im holding in my hand, pointed to by the red arrows...
thanks for any answers! |

yeah looks like the sensor that should be connected to your intake piping. I didnt have mine on and it would shift hard

Any where in the tube. You might have to drille a hole and get a rubber gromet to fit over it.
You can barely see mine in the first big bend in my intake.

Follow the wires from the sensor back to where they meet a thick group of wires. All you have to do is unravel a little of the black tape and pull the IAT wires out a little and it'll reach that grommet in the intake tube. Mine was the same way when I had that intake. Just make sure you pull enough out so there's a little slack in the wires when the sensor is fully plugged in the tube.
