ive been out of town the last 2 weeks but the day before i left this plug came off my car somehow and dumped the oil. i have spent hours here and there when i have time trying to figure out where to buy another one. i have found a ton of pictures searching so i know they exist but i cant find anywhere to buy something. is this not where a stock an oil temp sensor goes? i know its oil something and i have searched it all but nothing. please help i give up!

 

definitly a sensor. im guessing but knock sensor? maybe oil temp sensor as you said. If you havent figured it out by tomorrow afternoon i'll look at the back of one of the ls motors i have sitting in my shed and see whats located in that spot. good luck

 

its your knock sensor....what block is it? LS? i have one from my ls vtec had to take it out for the AFI catch can. If you need it LMK

 

well i have an ls vtec as well, honestly i cant remember what the hell was there before it came off, but if it was still the sensor it def was not hooked up.

i have seen many pictures with a big metal plug in there, if i cant find anything like that i guess just the sensor would work. anything to not have a massive hole is sounding pretty good right now.

im still searching with knock sensor this time and still getting lots of conflicting info like before. some places saying these motors dont have a knock sensor, i honestly dont know.
there is oil beyond the hole. i dumped almost all my oil when the thing came off.

 

not sure what it is (green plug sensor) ignore the red circled item

 

alright well im still not having any luck finding anything i can just buy online, unless i spend 40 bucks on a new sensor which is dumb because it will only be used as a plug in my case.

if someone has a junk one that will do the job let me know i will pay shipping+a few bucks for your trouble, otherwise anyone know what tools and sizes of wrenches might i need to go pull one at a junkyard. dont want to go this route since i dont have the time, but if i have to i have to. thanks!

 

On older blocks that is where the radiator fan switch goes. On newer blocks it is simply a threaded large plug that goes in that hole (you'll probably have to get the plug directly through Honda)

 

thanks, im just having a bitch of a time finding it! might have to get to honda if i ever have the time and see what they have to say about it.

 

acuraautomotiveparts.com might have it?

 

been digging around there a few times, including this morning. i think my problem might be i dont know how to properly word whatever it is

 

you should just go to the junk yard and pull 1 from 1 of the cars.

 

im finally making time to get down there tomorrow, lucky enough about the only hondas we get there are da's so should be able to find something.

only thing im still wondering is what size wrench i need for that sensor, or in a lot of pics the plug i have seen looked like a large allen head. i would like some idea if possible so i dont have to bring every tool i own haha.
