Re: '99 LSE 3800 - won't start, but tries!!

I just got it running by unplugging the sensor in the intake air. The second one from the air filter. It has 3 wires and a purple weather proof gasket around it. What is this sensor? It has 2 tamperproof torx screws holding it down. When I plug it back in, the car stalls after about 4-5 seconds. Won't start again until I unplug it. The car seems to run fine without it, but the exhaust smells a bit like the cat. converter is plugged or something, which I assume is due to this sensor being disconnected?? I am not driving the car in this condition, just trying to figure out the next step. Get a tool to remove this sensor, I guess. Thanks
