  • Unknown Sensor (can someone identify??)

    HI Everyone,
    I have a 1988 Festiva L, when I was changing my oil I noticed a sensor that is screwed into the bottom side of the intake manifold, closer to the driver's side, can anyone identify this sensor??

          This is a carburated model, it screws into the bottom side of the intake manifold, you can only see it if your underneath the car, well if you look real close you can see part of it extending down from the intake manifold if you are looking over the driver's side fender.

            It should be the coolant temp sensor, they are located underneath the intake on Carbed models.

                What colour are the wires? The wiring diagram in the back of the Haynes manual shows the colours.
