my temp gauge quit working after i changed my oil, so i figured i knocked it off when i did that. so rather that search around anymore, figured i'd ask someone, where is the sensor at?



Thanks

It's a small sensor that screws onto the block. It's on the driver side. It's sorta in the vicinity between the oil filter and spark plugs. Also near the oil pressure switch.

I believe it's that little hole right above the rear trailing spark plug.

Sorry voodoo, that's where the knock sensor can screw into, if youwanted to add a second one.



But it is to the right of that, on the iron housing, the oil pressure sensor is blocking the view.

DOH!!! I had a feeling there are two holes there...

They're both pretty small...
