Whats this sensor for? Its got two plugs on it, and when i was taken it off i didnt notice that, so now, I dont know which wire goes to which plug, Theres a yellow and a black wire, The way i put it on is the yellow is closest to the tranny looking from the back, just like in the pic, and the black is closest to the alternator.

 

Forgot to mention its a 1st gen b16

 

thats your thermo switch....it triggers your fan to come on....2nd gen b16s dont have em....well they do but its a diffrent spot... i just wiried mine to a switch so that i can turn it on and off....

 

I've never hooked the plug up any certain way and it always worked. Just plug it in and it should work...

yup, same here. they are on the D-series motors as well and I never paid attention on which plug went where before on my old motor

 

what about the 1-wire sensor that plugs in right next to it? whats its purpose?

 

the one with the rubber around it is for your thermo switch located by your oil filter . The other is for your knock sensor located above your oil filter right below intake manifold .

 

Thanks guys, for the quick response

 

isnt one your oil pressure too?

 

Yes, that is next to the temp switch and oil filter.
