Finally changed all my plugs and wires for the first time since I've owned the car. Took me about 2 hrs.. not bad for my first time right?

While I was pulling the #1 (front plug, drivers side) wire, I accidentally broke off the connector (circled in pic) going into the drivers side head just above the #1 plug. What is it and where can I get a replacement?

I was able to hook the black and blue male end back on without the female clip, but there's nothing holding it on and it will probably fall off. If it (whatever it is) disconnects while I'm driving, is it going to cause problems?

Is your cluster still reading coolant temps, I believe thats the temp sensor in the driveside head if I'm not mistaken.

Not sure. I'll have to check on that tomorrow.

It's your Engine coolant temperature sensor.

yes! always be careful around that thing when changing number one

Ok cool thanks. Anyone have a part number or anything for it?

And it shouldn't affect driving at all right if it falls off, just wont show the temp on my gauge?

haha yea well now I know that

These plugs look pretty normal right? The car has about 70k and I don't know if they've ever been changed. They're all the same except for #7, which is strange.

which one is number seven

oh nevermind i can tell now it looks like whoever changed the plugs before got the wrong one lol

Yea its weird that only one is different. I could understand if it was the rear pass side plug since some people just skip that one but that's not the case.

probably broke it or something. btw....you need to upgrade to longtubes...it makes spark plug changes easier lol

Lol yea tell me about it. I didn't really have too much of a problem getting to the plugs, but my bird def needs to breathe!

#7 is may be different because maybe it was never changed... i.e. the others were changed at least once.

This is a little strange, since #6 and #8 would be harder to access.

my guess is just the opposite, #7 is the only one with anti-seize, im sure the original was broken at some point and they only replaced one

yeap...and I think if it's broken the car will run rich

APG12

iTrader: (25)

Yea thats what I was thinking since it looks like a newer model plug compared to the other ones.

APG12

iTrader: (25)

Can anyone confirm this? Don't want to run the car if it will cause problems.

I think he is right since the computer adjusts the fuel tables when the engine gets warmed up and since it wouldnt show that its warm it would run rich to get it to operating temp.
someone correct me if im wrong

I had read that there are two different temp sensors. One for the PCM and the second (this one) just for the dash gauge.
