help identifying a sensor
Hi all,
Im putting my 5.7 together, pretty much with all new parts but it looks like ive missed one.
Im not sure what sensor i need for the intake manifold where the red arrow is pointing too. the sensor next to it is new, i think that one is the engine temp sender to goes to the ECU, but ive got no idea what should be in the other one

The other one would be the Cold Start switch. Has a connector on it that looks like a fuel injector connector. If you've eliminated the cold start, you won't need it.

Re: help identifying a sensor
ha ha ! a welcomed question mate, i just tell it how it is....
I just love the car so i put my heart and soul into it. ive wanted KITT since i was a little kid, and even before i knew what a Pontiac Firebird was ! when i got the car i knew nothing about them, but over the years through the will to learn ive tackled 90% of the jobs on my own and i just buy new parts as and when i can afford them.
Its taken me 10 years to get this far, as im not happy just sticking some knight rider parts on the car and having a ropey trans am underneath, so im restoring the car while making it a replica too, so its pretty time consuming.
Ive been saving lots of money on petrol though as its been sat in the garage since October when i pulled the 5.0 engine !
And yeah i got most of my parts from rockauto, even with the postage its usually cheaper than getting the parts from the UK stockists
