Default Identify this part?

Hey...
I would think this goes onto an 86 L98.

Any help in what this is?










Thanks!

I'd say O2 Sensor for the intake tube.

I don't know much about TPI's, but if we're throwing WAG's, I'm gonna guess it's an Air Temp Sensor. What's the prize for the winner?

It might be for a BMW or something else, for all I know!

It appears to be an "air Temperature sensor" with a longer wire to be relocated..
Ill put that with my airfoil, in the box of stuff I bought as a newbie that I really didnt need..

Thanks for the help

I'd think the extension for and OAT/IAT is correct, the WeatherPack hints early GM for sure and the rest isn't actually relevant as to where it came from. Most of the resellers still offer the package. Most I thought had a bracket that the OAT/IAT used for retention. I'd think an easy resale item for someone that was concerned.

Yours looks like it already has the "grommet" for a push-in install rather than the bracket some used.

It's wild and unfortunately wrong. Not sure what it is but that's not it. (I've got a couple on the shelf if you need a picture to confirm it)

I would go with the IAT sensor relocation kit. I don't think applies to your car however.
