help broke coolant temp sensor
ok i'm taking out the 305 tbi out of my 88' Iroc and deciding to replace all my sensors when rebuilding it i tried to take out the coolant temp sensor upon attempting to take it out i couldnt take anything out easy. so i used a little force and bammmm the sensor snapped about a 1/4 above the intake manifold. can anyone suggest a best coarse of action to remove this or better off getting a new intake manifold? thanks
