  • what is this, is it broken, where can i get one



    as title says. It is in the air filer housing on a 88' carb'd. I am assuming it has to do with the choke, but is that second prong (the one on the right) broken? Where can I find a replacement if it is broken?


    Thanks,

    Every car I have owned has had a turbo in it, until I bought this latest festiva.. I plan to fix that though.

    It is a air temp sensor that allows vaccum to open and close the therm flap in the air cleaner tube. It lets warm air from the exaust manifold to enter the motor during warm up. I know that parts stors list them but avalibility is iffy and the price is mad! And yea, it broke, but should not affect drivablity to much.

        It's just a bi-metal strip which bends according to air temp. Should be available from electical supply house?

          Just score it from a partstiva. Surely somebody here has one of these lying around in an aircleaner.
