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?
