Default Quick intake manifold connector question

There is a square plug connector on the front of the intake manifold. What sensor is this? I thought it might be the coolant temp switch but that doesn't look right. That's what it looks like in my Helm anyway. Do you know for sure? (Car is an '85)

Thanks,
Shayne

If it looks like an injector plug it is your cold start injector time thermo switch.

There are two coolant temp sensors up there:
-on the left, for the ECM
-on the right for the cold start injector

The cold start injector timer may be located near that area too.

I need to be a little more specific. I remembered I have a camera on my Treo, however a lousy one. Here are two different angles of that sensor.

That is the cold start switch.

If your not using the cold start injector, you can leave it off and no code will occur.
