This just got confusing[&:]

We are talking about the Air Charge Temp. Sensor. It is in the lower intake next to the #5 injector.

Just disregard my previous replys about the Coolant Temp. Sensor... sorry

thats what i thought lol. pull that out and stick it in some carb cleaner, brake cleaner, soap and water, any kind of house hold cleaners make some nasty cleaning stuff to put it in, because that stuff is hard on the end of that sensor. only do that if you dont want to buy a new one.

The sensor in the heater core tube is for the computers information on coolant temp.
The coolant sensor near the #5 injector is for the temp. gauge
The Air temp sensor near the #5 injector is for the computers information on air temp.

Is this clear boy and girls?

ORIGINAL: grabbem88

the air charge sensor is on the d/s front intake...has a filliment inside..

hey joel i didn't do a KOER test whoops!
it happens!...lol..J/K man....should run one though.

LH side = Driver's side
RH side = Passenger side

ECT in heater tube, Temperature sender in front of #5 injector, ACT behind #5 injector (thanks Tim).....you could also "force" a rich condition by disconnecting the ECT, whichever is more "accessible", comfortable to unplug....keep in mind, that any code generated by disconnecting either, should be ignored.
