what is this part called?

[mooktank]

ive broken this part off on both my windsor motors i have (302 AND 351) Its right on top of the upper intake closer to the passenger side, it has a plug with 2 wires running to it and its connected to the line running into the heater core. I think its some sort of valve for diverting coolant to the heater core but i have no idea. I need to buy on so i need to know what its called. thanks.

your EGR??

sound lik an egr to me also. But i think your car would run kinda ****ty with that broken

That sounds a lot like what's on my car. It's the sensor for the automatic climate control. Do Mustangs have that?

Only other thing I could think that it would be, would be the ECT sensor.

Is it on the front or back part of the motor?

i dont think its the ect....the ect is on the lower intake right in the front. if u do a little better job describing it maybe we will be able to help you out...

Sounds like your EGR.

How about a pic of the part.

 

[mooktank]

ill try to get a pic tomorrow. Its on the lower intake passenger side towards the front. It is exposed to coolant im positive of that but its not the temp sensor becuase that's on the driver's side. But yeah it screws into the tube coming out of the lower manifold. Attached to the same thing are: A tube going to the bottom of the throttle body, and a tube going into the firewall (heater core)

Is it black? Im thinking it might be the coolant passage way for the heater core it runs down the lower intake to the back and then two hoeses come off of it that connect to the firewall?

 

[TrickStang37]

i think i know what you talkin about. isnt that a the temperature sensor for the computer? not really sure myself. its connected to the black piping that runs from near the thermostat housing along the lower intake on the passanger side right?

 

[mooktank]

yes trick

 

[SilverFox90]

yeah thats the sensor for coolant temp for the computer.... the other temp sensor is just the sending unit for the gauge....

 

[skitzofrantic]

Can you test the sending unit for the temp gauge in the dash?? Mise is always at pegged past 0...........Tried putting it to ground with no changes.

That's your ECT sensor.

Edit: Oh, and it's a 1" deep socket to get it in and out.

 

[mooktank]

i cant find this part anywhere, is it also called a coolant temperature sensor?

 

[Look Its Aaron]

Yes it is the coolant temp sensor.
