Default What did I break, Where can I get replacement?



While struggling with the removal of my intake manifold. As I must have been doing something wrong as it was far from "easy". I broke that sensor in the Driver side/center back of the engine block. What is it? Any suggestions on replacements?

I read up on the problem before my intake swap and bought a sensor just in case I broke mine.


Yea, I ended up using it

Best thing to do is get the socket for it and put it on the sensor and leave it there til everything is done. No chance of breaking it than.
