engine and drivetrain Wallet Detector

[1972-2002]

so here is a picture of the hole AKA missing item on my engine AKA "wallet detector" sensor.  So what goes into this hole? And don't respond "money"!

Emissions sensor, if your car is de-smogged then you don't need it. if you car is not de-smogged then you need to de-smog it as that part is extremely expensive and pretty much useless.

 

So what I am saying is that money goes in that hole but it doesn't have to.

Haha, that might make your car happy. but you don't need to plug it with anything, it doesn't open anything up, I think it measures the air temperature below your intake manifold or maybe the temp of the manifold itself but leaving it open will not hurt anything and there is no benefit to plugging it up.

Oh, boy, there was a failsafe to detect tampering with that detector...

 

...it's going to do something unexpected just when you don't expect it.

 

If it was mine, I'd get the bypass plug that was supplied in countries like Monaco or

Saudi Arabia, where to even ask the question was considered unspeakably gauche...

...or where you had someone to carry your wallet for you, and also drive your car.

Now I am thinking that i need to put a wad of 100's in there to make sure it doesn't fail. I don't want to take any chances.

 

thanks to all for helping.

I can and will guarantee that it will not fail because of anything in or out of that hole.

 

But only if you stuff the wad of 100's in my pocket.
