Looks like the CHT sensor connector. Hard to determine. No wire count (it's one or two). No wire color. I can't see from the pic where it ties to the harness.

So, I'll go by what I can see. White connector, I believe there's only two. One for the CHT and the other is the Sending unit. The Sending unit will have one wire only. I believe the CHT for that model year is spliced via connector in to the harness. In other words, pigtails from inside the drivers side head toward the front and ends in front of the engine. This is done so that the harness is removable without disassemble of engine components.

In that general area of the picture with similar connectors, but usually black in color are, - Tuning Valve, Cam positioning sensor and that engine has a ECT sensor as well in that area.

Sure, - To save us both allot of wasted time, I need a wire count first, then the color and strip of the wires insulation casing. Then I'll post a pic or diagram for yuh. Or Mr. Scully will, - if he beats me to it lol.

Yea, I was right , - it's your CHT sensor. I explained what and where earlier.

OH! You want picture ? Alright, I'll dig one up, hang on.. ...

How's this one ~



CylinderHeadTemperature (CHT ) Sensor. It's connected in this photo as it should be, before further engine assembly. Otherwise, -it may be fun trying to connect that one w/manifold attached. Not sure, haven't tried it lol.

Good Luck.

Sure, - but head back over to the engines forum. You started a thread about that topic and I replied to it. Yea, I asked you a couple questions, but you didn't answer. - Which makes it difficult to help.

So yea, pick up where you left off over there and you might want to take some pics of the lines your referring to. I know where every one of those go, but I don't know where you are confused. ??
