thanks for your input , i'll will work on it till i break it bad or fix it, i have a cobra lower i can use
if i have put, just hate to use a real cobra on this project, trying to stay with the explorer but if all else fells i have a backup with the sensor still installed

if you dont want to drill and tap it then you can lengthen the wires for the connector and put it in your CAI tube.
the 94/95 5.0's were like this and I think most ford cars are like this now.
thats where it is in the exploder too.
