Sensor in Radiator?

[movementality]

So, I noticed there was one wire of the three connected to this plug was brokem. I have no idea for how long.
It doesn't seem to adversely effect my engine in any kind of way, but maybe i'm just oblivious.



This is the passenger side of my m20 radiator. Should I replace this plug.

thanks guys

i would just go to a junk yard cut one out, and solder it back in...if you do cut one out, DO NOT BUTT CONNECTOR it together on your car

I've always wondered what that plug does!

Thanks for posting this, OP.

[movementality]

good point, thanks 5kwattson
for the time being i don't seem to have any problems. i ended up ripping off all the wires when i tried to remove the plug... :(

What? Why not?

What? Why not?

I'm assuming the resistance in the butt-splice will give a false reading.
