Cooling fan switch connector.

 

:: DING ::: hes got it

 

maybe you both are right... but for some reason i think it actually might be the knock sensor.... not 100% sure yet ill let you guys know when i find out
thanks

 

Knock sensor and fan temp switch are the same style connector. Fan switch is in the the passengers side head and the knock sensor is in the block on the same side.

 

can the connector be bought at any auto part store? or do i have to find it online somewhere?

 

Should be able to buy it at any parts store. OR if not go to TPIparts.net, They have them.

 

so, yours broke too.
When you find the connector at a store, let us know where and how much.

 

Orielley's Auto Parts, cost about $6.80. They pulled out the catalog and I found it for the knock sensor. I am using it along with a cooling fan switch on my 3.1 to control the electric fan, through a relay of couse. I'll dig around in the garage to see if I can find the box with the part number on it. It is a Borg Warner part. It is hanging from the rear of the passenger side head, attached to the fan switch.

 

dont take offense to this, lol, as im doing it all in good fun. Your motor looks nice, but dang dude, did you use an ENTIRE tube of silicon on each end of the intake?

 

No, it is a little trick I have found over time, I smear it with my finger around the gap, it helps prevent small oil leaks that might otherwise occur.
