The ACT Sensor on my 2.3l NA Foxbody has gone out, causing the CEL to come on and making me no longer able to pass emissions, Anyone have any ideas on how I can go about getting this part? It's not available anywhere and hardly anyone has this engine.

This is for a '90. What year is yours? I think all '87-'93 2.3 ACT's (including turbo) are all the same.

I just took the whole upper intake off and replaced the gasket while I was at it... and cleaned and painted the upper intake It's on the backside of the lower manifold... not to be confused with the water temp sensor which is between the lower intake runners.
