After I got the throttle body off on my '76 2.0, a couple of questions. There is a sensor under the throttle cable, white wire was broken off, I repaired the wire, what does the sensor do?

Also, under the throttle cable in the tin on the passenger side is a clean 1/2 inch hole, what is it there for, looks like it was taped over at some point?

Finally, there is a machined approximately 1 inch hole in the back of the engine bay wall about car centerline, in the circle in the picture with the blue glue residue around it, and the remains of a small black plastic cap were underneath it. What is the hole there for and should it be covered? Anyone on any of this stuff?

First pic is the thermo time switch. The hole in the tin is for a push in plug wire holder. They are available new. Bug/bus part. The hole in the rear tin had a plug with a strap for the wiring harness. Iirc

Thank you Cabinet, sounds like I don't need to be concerned about either hole, or the TTS sensor here on the west coast, even though I did hook it back up.

Thanks for Identifying the thermo switch, wasn't sure what it was either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

If it works, the TTS is a good thing. If it doesn't, it's a vacuum leak and a high idle problem. Very few of them close in my experience. I think I've tried a half dozen...
