If I recall, the sensor on the passenger's side of the intake is where the computer gets its temperature input from and the one on the driver's side is the sender for the temp gauge in the dash. If you block flow to the computer input, it's probably not going to be very happy about it. The ECM uses this input to determine which fuel map to use. With the flow blocked off, it'll always think that the car is still warming up. The sensor may not get hot enough for the computer to recognize that the engine is up to normal operating temperature. I plan on bypassing mine in the near future also. Let us know if you come up with any good ideas. I was thinking about relocating the sensor down into the coolant path. I'm not sure if that's possible. I haven't really spent any time looking at it since I decided to do it.
