Stock 20B Fuel Rail Question

On the primary fuel rail, on the leading edge towards the front of the motor, there is a green electrical quick-connect clip for a sensor that is plumbed into the fuel rail. My question is: is this sensor the stock fuel pressure sensor or is it for fuel temperature?

I'm currently using an external fuel pressure regulator to plumb in my fuel pressure sensor but if the other sensor is available to watch fuel temperature...? It'd be nice to see how fuel temps affect other things as well.

Great, thanks Mike...next question.

Is anyone bothering to monitor this parameter outside the stock ECU and since only one of us is even using the stock ecu anyhow...

If so, what gauge are you using because I don't believe that it is common (at least I haven't found it on Jeg's or Summit)?

The problem I was finding was being able to find a gauge that would read temps between 40-200 Deg. F. The only one I know of is intake air temp. But then you'd have to pull the face of the gauge off and put your own markings on. Either that or go digital with Dakota Gauges...

Greddy? No, I was referring to Autometer but my fault for not saying so. Yes...I just wanted to monitor it for fun.
