Common with people swapping Intake manifolds... Not hard to replace, sensor itself is about 20 bucks.

Found it for you on the last page i think there is a picture of the socket that you need if you dont want to take the valley cover off. Also there should be the size of the socket floating arround there somewhere. Good luck

Just do a search. Even if you search within my post history, you'll find the autozone part number for the socket that you'll need to replace it. Unless you're like copcar and remove the valleycover. Easy beans man.

just out of curiosity, but why does everyone break these? I removed and replaced -=Modified=-'s intake w/ his h/c swap, and we never got close to even nudging it... I can see when you're reinstalling the intake, it got stuck on an intake port, then kicked back...

-Just curious....
