Head temp sensor/connector (L-98)
Is there a better solution to this POS connector/sendor?
The plastic melted off of it, so now I only have the wire with the metal slip over piece. This thing is a joke, it falls off when I do any work over there. It is a PITA to get back on with little space in there.
is there some home mod or something I can do to get a better connector on it? another sensor perhaps?

This is the one between #1 and #3 cylinder? Mine disintegrated also. I don't know how, but it was just hanging there, and somehow my front wheel caught it and yanked it completely out of it's harness. :crazy: I am gonna see if I can track down a new one at the dealer or if not, canibalize it of an old car.

on my 90 it is on the passenger side between 6 and 8. it goes to the H2O temp gauge inside.
Sometimes I look over and I have no temp.... :mad
Seems to me that whole set up is hokey.

I would get a new sender and solder a wire to the sensor and then use heatshrink or Electrical thape to cover it.. then get a weather pack connector similar to the O2 or the EST Bypass and wire it in place of the current set-up
it may work better
it may work better
