I have a 2010 Dodge Challenger RT Classic with 10,400 miles. It has a 5 speed automatic and is bone stock. I saw your video on how to make your car run better by cleaning the MAF sensor but I think my car has an AIT sensor instead. How to you inspect/clean this sensor? Is it the same process as a MAF sensor video? Any information would be great to have. Also what effects would an improperly sealed air box lid have on my 5.7L HEMI engine? I notice that the lids was NOT sealed correctly but I think I fixed this issue. Would it effect either the short & long tern fuel trims. Thanks.... Hubkap1
This video shows you how to properly remove the IAT sensor from the air duct on the Dodge Challenger:

Once removed, just use MAF cleaner on the sensor as you would a MAF sensor. The two technically are not the same but for this job the differences do not matter as the same cleaner works the same.
In regards to your air box, if it is not sealed properly you probably won't see any terrible fuel trim changes just due to that. You will see slightly elevated IAT's, but nothing to worry about. Biggest issue would be additional debris prematurely clogging the filter material. Sounds like you have that fixed up now though.
There is no MAF on your Challenger, instead Mopar uses the IAT, basically does the same thing. Just goes about it in a different way. You clean it the same as the MAF. The poorly sealed airbox you got it fixed so you're good to go there. Enjoy the Chally
