it's probably just the IAT sensor. I just let it dangle in the engine bay. If it's the MAF you MUST have that built into the intake or else the car won't run right.

Mazda 3 has the IAT built into the MAF...same MAF as 1.6L Protege....There will be a spot on the intake to screw down the MAF...If there is not you have the wrong intake for your car....

Shameless plug for me:

I've got CAIs and Carbon Fiber intakes for the 3 in stock & ready to ship.
Check out the vendor section.

It is probably the PCV hose... Does it connect to the valve cover in some way?
