thanx in advance

 

Pic #1 shows the warning sensor for exhaust high temp (supposed to alert you to a malfunctioning cat).

Pic #2...who knows?

 

I'm guessing #2 is the remnants of a sloppy kill switch install.

 

1 = exhaust overtemp switch
2= dodgy burn the car down or lean it out with poor current kill switch for the fuel pump ,, likely used for anti flood start
( and there is much easier and better spots to add that )

 

Did anyone know that on J-spec FC's the cat temp is sensed directly? They come with these



Cool, huh?

 

thanx everyone.. i assume that since i dont have a cat on my car i can remove that right?

ne ways the p.o. was an idiot and ive spent months trying to fix everything he broke. =.="
my fuel gauge doesnt work cuz of that..

 

wow, thats insane. you learn new things everyday. besides, who need heat sensors? lol
