Help! Snow ripped off temp sensor on exhaust
So a big old snowbank decided to rip off the temp sensor on my exhaust. The one midway down the car...

Does anyone have a spare one laying around for an 85?

Thats not a temp sensor, its you oxygen sensor. Its the only thing connected to the exhaust. It will be around $40.

No, not the O2 sensor.... Its the sensor on the tubing just past the cats. Braided SS covered wire then goes to a gromit under the driver's seat.

You only need it if you still have the cats.

You have a sensor actually on the exhaust? My overheat light sensor is screwed down to the floor pan.

It's not. That's the catalyst thermo sensor.

The one on the floor is the overheat sensor.
