Just installed my intake and there seems to be a extra hole next to the #5 fuel injector. Its pretty big, looks like a plug or something would go there. screw type fitting. I can take a pic if this makes no sense. Thanks Casey

It's 1 of 2 things:

ACT sensor (between the #5 & #6 injector)
OR
Temperature sending unit for the stock guage(in front of the #5 injector)

both should be on your stock lower.

you need to plug it with a NPT plug. you can get it in the plumbing section of osh. i think its 3/8" but probably not, my memory sucks

i hate being old [Frown]

the hole is for the act sensor, but on 94/95's its in the intake tubing so you plug it.

Oh I see, I was thinking on a fox.

if that's a cobra lower, your ACT sensor (coolant) goes on the lower there as well though I forget on which runner.

If that's an explorer lower (looks identical otherwise to the cobra lower), that's the IAT sensor (air temperature) that on explorer's and SN-95's is located on the intake. on fox cars it's off the stock airbox.

otherwise I also believe the SN-95 cobra lower has the IAT sensor and ACT sensors both on the lower intake. Find 'em on your old intake and slap them in beatch!

This would be correct, not sure if the size is it but I am going to ace right now.
