Why does my '88 TII have two sensors/wires coming out of the oil-pan?
My TII has two sensor plugs in the side of the oil-pan. I have two other TII motors sitting here both of them only have one...?
I ask this because the wire ripped off the sensor on the "unknown" plug and I'm hoping it doesn't matter.
Anyone care to offer their insight?
Thanks,

Cold start assist that is now deleted but found on all the wire harnesses. Messes everybody up when they go to put their motor back in and can't find where the littel connector connects to........then they start a thread.

Hailers, I'm not at home to look for myself but do you happen to know if the 20B has this extra sensor as well?
On a related note, would it be possible to use that sensor with a temp gauge? Sort of a ready made location if we could!

It's really a SWITCH. As in ON/OFF. What I did was remove it. It drilled the guts out of it then tapped in threads of the remainder to match the threads on a AutoMeter water temp sender. Then put the outfit back on the pan with the sender and there you go.
A PAN oil temp gauge so I can see the difference b/t the oil temp at the oil filter(I cut a block of aluminum and drilled passages for the filter and a AutoMeter water temp sender) vs the pan temps. Or how cool the oil cooler gets the oil after it leaves the pan. Two seperate temp gauges. I like my toy car.

The oil temp switch is only fitting to engines that had the Sub-Zero Start Assist system. That means that no JDM engines have one, including 20B's. I believe Californian FC's didn't have it either.
