Not necessary unless you live in Kanada or someplace very cold.
This prevents icing of the throttle plate.
Also slows down the car so it won't go too fast..

YOu would prob have to gnd P/N permanently. Or disable
the code in the prom

The 165 ecm in TPI without the MAF will run nicely in

YOu would have to disable the Maf codes in the prom or
burn out the lite.
