I noticed a wire not attached in my car's engine bay (92). Below is a picture of what I am asking about. I did a little research in the FSM and found this wire is for the "thermal transmitter", which surely means the thermo sensor. Can someone simply look under their hood and tell me where this attaches therefore where the thermo sensor is?I asked this in the technical section with no response...and it is so simple.

Anyway, I thought maybe the vert crowd is more likely to have the original engine, and maybe more helpful too?

There is sensor of some sort slightly above and to the right of it...is that the one you are talking about? I had thought that was where it was too - but on my car there is nothing to attach to (maybe it is broken off?). I guess if anyone is really bored and can snap a pic, that would be awesome!

Actually, on another look, there are two sensor things right beside each other where the pipe goes into the engine on the left. The left sensor already has something plugged in to it, the one on the right has nothing, but I see nowhere something could be plugged in for that matter. So are both of these thermo sensors of some type. FWIW, my temp gauge doesn't work either (of course).

Hey Carcrazyguy,I took a picture of what you needed, but I don't have a button to upload the picture... if you can tell me how to put one up I'll be happy to send it along.

Thanks so much for the pic! You make me wanna buy a vert (actually I was thinking of getting one anyway). \About posting pics: most likely your IP allots you webspace where you can host pics, but you typically have to ask or they will never set it up for you, much less mention it to you.Anyway, it appears there is something missing from my car, which I will dig into as soon as possible. For the sake of helping anyone else in the future, here is the pic you sent:
