a little but still dunno what arrowed part is

[richyb66]

It's the throttle stop switch.

[Guest Dtr36]

which does what?

[richyb66]

Presumably it tells the ECU when your foot isn't on the gas pedal. Could be used for fuel shutoff on over-run, could be used for cruise control (if it had it, which I assume it doesn't).

 

I can't see it on a wiring diagram but I've only had a quick look.

My sierra 1988 didn't have one when I got it.

 

so I don't know what it does.

as mine got nothing connected to it and was wondering if this stopping it running etc

[richyb66]

Is that photo your car or the engine that's now in your car because it's an auto, so the switch is probably the kickdown switch for the auto box.

[Guest Dtr36]

not my pic

but mine was a auto

water temp sensor is on the inlet manifold mounting face, between inlet 2 & 3.

throttle position sensor is the black plastic component on the opposite end of the throttle butterfly to the throttle cable.

Have not heard of any oil sensor, possibly to do with the auto box?

don't know what the arrowed component is, not present on my car.

[richyb66]

Kickdown swith then. 2 wires Bk/Gn and BK/B

 

Can't see it'll make any difference to whether the engine runs or not. It the car's not auto now, you won't be needing it.

cheers grim what did you use to extend your pipework to airfilter hose?

[steve in stockport]

it may not be auto now, but if you're using an auto ecu it may be waiting for signals from some of the auto relays that it would normally have before it will let the engine run, and if you haven't got them fitted it'll be a long wait

i had a look around a scrappy for some hoses that looked like they might fit, found a couple i could then link together.

I also found an old citroen that used the same air flow meter and had a lovely square-to-round converter for attaching the air filter. This was nearly 9 years ago now so you might be lucky to find one of those.
