CTS & IAT sensors the same?
I went to the autopart store to get a few sensors that I needed.
And for the coolant temperture sensor and the intake air temperature sensor they gave me the same thing.
Is this right? I dont want to put the plenum back without knowing Ive got the right sensor in.
Another thing, since Im allready digin on my engine what other sensor should I change. all of them have been on the car since 1988. the ones Ive got other than the ones mentioned before are: the EGR valve & the O2 sensor.
what else would be good to replace?

yes the cts and mat/iat are the same.
replace the egr temp sensor as well. it's a pita to do when the intake is on.

Stock the 'iat' is more like a manifold temp sensor, but it is only used to enable/disable EGR so it isn't a big deal.
