air sensor needed???

here's a problem...recently, i bought a 94 eclipse gs. then i also got a intake for it. however, when i installed the intake, i took out the air sensor. is that a problem? im a nOOb with cars, so im not sure if the air sensor is needed.

yea it needs to be there. get a k&n drop in filter and just use the hard pipe to go from the thottle body to the back of the air sensor

are you serious....damn...wat would happen if it is not used?...as of right now?...im not using it...am i in trouble?....plus, in order to connect the sensor to the intake, i need one more of those plastic tubes, the thing that connects the throttle body and intake...but i only got one with my intake...sh!t....is there a way to do sumthin to the senor and make it less of a problem?

sorry for the double post, but since im here, i might as well ask...how much horsepower does a 94 eclipse with a 4g63 engine has?
