My sensor seems different (No wire coming off sensor) than what is available. My engine tin has a small hole for it, and I'm wondering if I have to take the tin off? Do I need the bracket attached? Engine is a 1.7L. Thanks!

Kris,
The reason its different is because that's the Air Temp Sensor #1 (of two - the other is smaller and in the plenum -air box) The head temp sensor is about the diameter of your finger, with threads on one end and the lead wire you were expecting on the other end. Take a look at Pelican Parts Catalog for more details. It will also show location. Good luck. |

Where does the #1 Air Temp Sensor mount?

You've just thanked someone for the WRONG INFORMATION! That's the thermotime switch, part of the cold start circuit. Temp sensor 1 screws into the side of the plenum, and has a 2 wire plug in connection. The TTS attaches to a case through bolt, along with the forward leg of the plenum, on the right side of the case centerline close to the distributor.

 Here's a photo that will give an idea (although probably not completely accurate): |
