Won't hurt but you may notice a slight bog during take-off in colder temperatures. yep wont hurt, is it a full intake or short ram?? i would recommend a AEM short ram i got mine for 90 bucks plus a K&N filter for 30.... in certain terms it's actually better for your car.
In automotive engine terms, the air intake system would include everything between and including the air filter housing to the heads on the engine. The automotive HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system also has an air intake system. This is where fresh air or recycled cabin air circulates in the cabin area.
If you mean "fuel" system, the answer would be the intake manifold.
The intake air temperature sensor on a Geo Prism would be a part of the air intake system. More specifically, it would be on the engine side of the air cleaner housing.
it could becoming from the intake or one of the o-rings from the heater hoses where it connects to the intake .you need to pressurize the system to pinpoint the leak
The amount of power gain depends on many factors. Engine size, intake system, altitude, etc. A 1 degree drop would gain you almost nothing.The amount of power gain depends on many factors. Engine size, intake system, altitude, etc. A 1 degree drop would gain you almost nothing.
The intake stroke, number one in a 4 cycle engine.
You can test a car intake system by taking the vehicle to the shop and getting service for the intake system. They would have to put the car on a machine and use their testers.
On an engine bolted to the intake manifold.
Usually 4, one for each cylinder. They will be located in the intake manifold.
Generally it would be an unmetered air leak in the intake system. Or it could be a faulty crank/cam sensor
No
It would fit, but the 1999 uses a completely different computer system. The charging system, cruise control, intake heater, and transmission would not function properly.
