So i have my intake out for painting. went to place it back in and realized a sensor of some sort was broken behind it. Its on the rear of the block, driver-ish side behind where the intake manifold would be. It has a single prong and looks as if it is put on/removed with a socket, im guessing a 1 inch socket. I want to go pick up a new one so i can finish this project and get the car back together but theres no part number or writing at all on the sensor. Help please

Cant you get a wrech on it with the intake off?

Even a West Virginia speed wrench should do the trick (thats an adjustable wrench for you rookies)

TransAm619

no. theres not enough room around it and it also sits even or maybe even a little lower than where the intake sits so i cant grab it.. im so frustrated guys

I'd call around I'm sure someone local has one for rent/sale...Have you tried using a regular socket?

Yeah, you're going to have to go back to Autozone and BUY an oil pressure sending unit Socket... It's pretty much the only way. It's deep enough to get the job done, and it should only be 10 bucks.

What size is an O2 sensor socket? Would that work? -Just an idea, and just thought of it.
