Burned Sensor ??

I was doing a tune up and there is a blue connector just above the starter on the right side of the engine that goes into the engine block. Its on a 92 camaro RS 305..I put it back but it is cooked to hell

That is either the knock sensor wire or the primary fan wire.

I am not sure if you can get one at the parts store but my best guess is the salvage yard.

Re: Burned Sensor ??

Thanks for the help..I did some broswing and it turns out it is the knock sensor just below spark plugs 4/6. I'll have to call around to try to find it. But in the mean time it didnt throw a check engine light. does that mean it is fine for now?
