I think the only thing around there is above it near the throttle body and it is the IAC idle air control and above that is the TPS throttle position sensor

Only sensors i can think of is the IAC that is mounted to the TB, but its not a sensor. IAC Idle Air Controler.

Yeah thats it. Imma have to buy it tomarrow tho, store closed. How much does this run for? I took this sensor out and my coolant temp sensor and they both look like they have never been replaced, like if they were the factory ones. Stupid *** last owner only cared for looks not for anything under the hood.

when i went to napa to replace my cts, i had aken the cold start sensor out not knowing what it was. the guy spent at least a half an hour flipping through books before he found out what it was. also it was around 50 bucks and he had to special order it...it was covered with deposits from the coolant, but 50 bucks was a little much so i used some 300 grit sandpaper and polished it right up....no word on how well it worked though...
