Looks sort of like a knock sensor, but also a oil pressure sensor?

I would say oil pressure but its kinda short and the plug on the back is kinda wierd.

reverse switch.

Knock sensors are 1 wire sensors. That thing has 2 posts.

Word and knock sensors are almost never in one piece. That glue to hold the plastic together is wack.

thermostatic fan switch

test it by hooking up a multimeter to it while heating it in a pot on the stove until you get continuity.

Not to mention you need a deep 27mm socket to get the fuckers off or a pair of vise grips for the trailer park style.

It looks like there is a hole in the end of it, so I would bet on a pressure sensor or switch of some sort.

I used the vise grips, couldn't find my deep socket.... and then I bought a new one to install the new knock sensor.

Deff not, This has a 2 prong plug. Been a looong time since ive seen one but it kinda looks like the thermostatic switch on an old Honda Valkyrie but they have one prong.

It looks like there is a hole in the end of it, so I would bet on a pressure sensor or switch of some sort.

end does have a dimple/hole like a knock sensor. I figured it was a pressure sensor also but from where?



Well Im pretty sure this isnt a honda sensor at this point so i feel better, Just wish I knew where it came from. I know now where its going, in the trash.

Thermo Switch = as above

Temp sensor = variable resistance based on temp

Pressure switch = think about it...



I think it's actually an A/C system pressure switch. I recall seeing that pin style on OBD0 Hondas/Acuras. If so, it would either be a low pressure (couple psi) or higher pressure (~45psi) activation pressure.

Now that you mention it, that is exactly what it looks like.
