    What Sensor is this on my my V8

    Hi,
    Please see the pic. There is nothing connected to this green corroded sensor, but I would like to know what it was or is supposed to be. It looks redundant. Can I take it out and plug the hole?

    Many thanks

    Jim

    Pretty sure that's the temp sender (long time since I had a V8).

    That is, as already stated, the sensor for the warning circuit to tell you to turn the choke OFF by illuminating the orange cold start/choke lamp when the engine is warmed up a little.

    My series III also has the same and illuminates the orange light in the dash if the choke is still out when the engine gets warm

    Thanks for the responses. I have a manual choke, (and the light stays on after I push it in!!...this is another issue as there is nothing connected to the sensor we are talking about), and I do have an air conditioning system which does not blow cold air.

    I can now investigate the suggestions you have given me so thanks again.

    That explains it

    One less job to do now...thanks..

    Thought my dash light was faulty as the choke light only came on once the motor started to warm up - kinda thought that it would come on when the choke was on.....

    Have a great new guys, bye for now.
