about 10 bucks..

most of the sensors for 3rdgens are anywhere from 10-25 dollars, O2 is about 50, MAf is the most expensive at 100-120 and the EGR is 70 at the GM dealer

Is this sensor the same on the L03 block engine too? If so, I guess I can stop worrying that my fan sensor is broke. The temp gauge still gets a reading but I was never sure if it was right after I changed exhaust.

Does the fan sensor control anything other than the fan in the ECM? I have the fan wired always on so that doesn't matter...


THanks

controls nothing else except turning them on/off..

the gauge sensor (1-3 spark plug) will work on pretty much any engine, it's standard chevy
