I forget what its called, Its not the one on top of the intake but the one between the spark plugs number 6 and 8 if I recall as well. How much do these run anyways?

I have been running my fans from my ac controls for a while now, so probably since I got it? I just realized that this sensor is good to have running.

The parts store called it a fan switch. I just replaced mine(91Z). It's a switch that controls the passenger side fan when the temp gets high (around 250). Just be sure to get the correct one. Mine was $20.

They also make that switch in a version ( BWD brand ) that comes on at a earlier temperature.They cost more but are worth it if you want your fan on at a lower temp. Advanced/Kragens part numbers=
# TFS8 =220 on - 204 off, # TFS4 = 227 on - 211 off
# TFS1 = 238 on -222 off
