Car is a 73 2.0L with stock FI. After R&R'ing the drivetrain for some much needed cleanup and hose replacement I've got a couple of questions on sensors.
1. What color is the thermo switch wire? There are two wires nearby, grey/brown and white. Just can't recall which it is. The grey/brown reaches better, but the elec. diagram shows white. 2. What is the other wire for? 3. Is the distributor air temp sensor what's called "temperature sensor I" on the electrical diagram? Thanks Attached thumbnail(s)

Rob, thanks for confirming. The biggest challenge in sorting out these small bits has been terminology. PET, the electrical diagrams, and colloquial use seem to all differ.

Add to that different things on different years (e.g., early/late) and I think even the experts get confused sometimes. I work in Reston and live in Sterling, and I'm happy to help in person as well if you need it. |
