I'm just a little confused about what sensor is what, I've got a '86 TC engine, and I've got a sensor where every people say that it is supposed to be the ACT sensor location, but on the '86 engine.. I'm not supposed to have an ACT.. So, what the heck is this sensor??

I don't know...where is it?

You have an ECT (engine coolant temp) sensor in the middle of your lower intake between the injectors I assume? The ACT would be a plastic sensor with a small wire sticking out the end of it.

hmm... I'll show you a pic, maybe it will be more clear than me...

I've got a sensor on the #1 location that I think is the knock sensor
And
One in the #3 location like in the pic, but I don't know what it is..

So, I just wanted to know what it is..?
