Get a filter for it at autozone or a similar place, all you need to do is fab a holder for it to stick to the end of your breather tube. Or (if your fuel rail is small enough) connect it straight to your valve cover where the breather port is.

Yeah, I just used one of those "valvecover breathers" from Advanced Auto Parts. I think it is meant for a small block chevy. It looked like a tiny K&N filter.

I have a footlong or so hose running from the valvecover to my filter. I just have the hose ziptied onto the brake booster vacuum hose. Check it out...

I hope there is no sensor. If you got rid of the airbox, you may need a breather for two reasons:

1) It helps filter escaping oil vapors into the atmosphere.
2) It looks good/cleaner.

IRC, I bought mine for $10 at advance auto parts. Its better than leaving the tube just lying their with no visible function.

Are you talking about the intake air temperature sensor?

Two wires going into it, with a orange tip?

There are a few boxes on the stock intake for the Zetec.

The plenum on the top of the motor which I have been told that you need. The muffler going to the front of the motor that the Air Temp Sensor lies, the AFbox, and a muffler in the fender. Which one are you talking about?
