what is this too...jacked my stang up and it was sitting behide the passenger side wheel...where dose it go?

monte87 · May 24, 2007

coolant system sensor for the computer, Not the TEMP gauge though. the one that goes into the coolant tubes towards the heater core and all.

Later Ant

EFI cars need that sensor, mandatory.

If that sensor was not installed coolant would be bubbling all over your engine while it is running.

hmmm...must of been a spare or something..

Im thinking he replaced it, then forgot it (old one) where it was. Well-Until you found the it. hahahaha

As others have said that is the ECT Sensor (Engine Coolant Temp). It goes in the hard heater lines where they come off the passenger side front corner of the intake manifold. Will your car run without it? yes but it will run rich. When I got my 88 it was missing the ECT because the yahoo who owned it before pulled the hard lines off the car when the heater core went bad and just plugged the threaded hole in the intake.

Uh no!! I tells the computer to richen and lean the mix when it warms up. my 86 dosent have one and it runs awesome!! so mandatory I think not. its all in how you tune it!

If you have one installed in the heater tube more than likely it was changed out at some point, set on the inner fender and forgotten about. Then over time it worked its way down to where you found it. Happens with my wrenches all the time

I was once driving down the road in 65 and I heard something hit the road and when I looked in my rearview I could see my 1/2" wrench bouncing down the road.

BigHairyMonkey · May 24, 2007

i have found an extending magnet arm + a 1/2 in socket, we should all get together and drive on a bumpy road to make some mod money. all kinda **** will fall out.

As you can see I have a bad habit of loosing tools. It gets a little expensive after awhile.

I work as a construction electrician and the running joke on my job is that if you follow me around for a week or two you will end up with a whole new set of tools.

thats nothing. when i had my 88 Formula i installed an adjustable pan hard rod in it. several weeks later i got to looking for my 1/2" ratchet. it stayed missing for 3 months. one day while i was walking towards my car i noticed something hanging out from under it i didnt recognize. when i looked under the back of the car there was ratchet hanging there still on the last bolt i had tightened. it stayed on there for 3 months of me driving the car every day. i couldnt believe it. it was ruined however. it had rusted to a point that it would barely work. i oiled it down, but it didnt get much better. so much for craftsman tools.

Mr. Rustypwnz · May 25, 2007

there is a bump right after my drive, and I hit it one day after doing some mods to the 86, all the friends are yelling burn em!! i hit it, and it seemed like 10 screwdrivers were laying on the ground, had to stop and pick em up LOL Then I felt like an ass haha!!

All I found were leaves, bits of wiring, oxidized pennies, and a treat SOGGY POTATO CHIPS under my seats when I first bought the car.
