There is one in the drivers side cylinder head, and another on the front of the TPI manifold. I beleive the one in the manifold is for the computer and the one in the head for the guage.

The one on the driver side cylinder head between cyl 1 and 3 is for the gauge. Has a green wire going to it.

The one on the drivers side between 1 and 3 is for the gauge only. The one located in the TPI manifold is for the fan/ECU

He only stated his gauge wasn't working, that is why i posted about the cyl head one.

Are your fans not working?
