Damaged/Broken IAT Sensor
I broke my IAT on accident trying to remove a stuck stud on my N/A intake, I'm wondering is there any major downsides to not having one on the car. If so what are the issues and where can I source a replacement. Can I use one for a different car and rewire it to my connector or not. Thank you in advance for the help

the sensor is NLA from Mazda, N326-18-845. seems to be hard to find aftermarket too
Mazda used the sensor in basically everything from 86-92, so MPV, trucks, etc so used isn't too bad
there should be something from another car that works, but we haven't found anything yet.

The IAT sensor that matters for fuel metering is inside the MAF.
You should be able to drive around all day with the IAT in the manifold unplugged and have zero issues. Then again my idle regulation never worked properly back when I had the stock ECU anyways, so YMMV.
