help name this sensor

[91talontsi0324]

Okay so im starting to realize every aspect of my dsm was previously F***(ed up. After find ing the wiring harness to be a complete hack job, i recently found another sensor that is completely broken. I have searched and cannot find out what the name of this sensor is. I have taken a picture to post. It is located below the fuel rail, and behind the timing covers. It is circled in the pic. If anyone can let know what the name of the sensor it would really help me out. Thanks in advance everyone!

I believe the top goes down to the crank sensor. That one may go to the a/c compressor. Its hard to really tell with that pic.

Yeah sorry for the bad pic, it was taken with my phone. If no-one can figure it out from this picture i will take better ones later.

Power Transistor

I 2nd the power transistor.

 

[Side_Show]

yup power transistor

Ah, okay. Thanks for the quick reply. Anyone know where i could pic up a new one. My guess would be the dealer?

Power Transistor for sure.

You could always borrow the one from my FWD until I get the car finished, Bob. I don't know how I didn't notice that thing being mangled when I was putting the coil bracket back on the intake.

I have 13 of them, if you need one PM me and see what i can do for you!!

It looked perfectly fine until i started to wiggle it, It looked like it was glued together or something ( which i shouldnt be surprised). I broke another phone last week and lost your number, ill have to pm you for it.

yup power transitor

For those of you that don't know the situation- if it's wiring-related on this car, it's been completely hacked by the previous owner. Everything from the headlights to the boost gauge was completely jacked. We're talking indoor-grade wire nuts on various sensors....some not even wired at all (o2 sensor, coolant temp sensor). This guy should've taken up gardening instead of building DSM's, and let the tough stuff to a professional. I could just picture him in a garden going apeshit with a spade shovel, then using the same shovel to repair his car.

Bobby's had his hands full from day one with this thing.

That pretty much sums up my car! Except for the fact that it has some mysterious transmission im unable to identify in it. Oh and the motor had a blow head gasket, a few previous broken timing belts, a broken ear off the block, hell i could go on for days!

It did have a really clean body and good 1g head tho haha!

Hahaha i didnt see that the first time. That is some funny s^&*!

wow we should organize and take this guy out in the middle of the desert and go "apeshit" on him just like they do in office space with the printer

I think we've pretty much confirmed the trans to be from an Evo III (no mount provision on the rear of the trans, but there's a mount provision on the front- 2G-style). Not sure what that means concerning the final drive ratio and such, but if the tranny takes a dump I think you're better off starting with a US-built DSM trans as a core.

Seriously, I wish you guys knew of half the shit that was wrong with this car when he bought it. We should've started a "fail blog" on this site in favor of Bobby's car and updated it daily with one new retarded find and pictures.

My two favorites:

1) The boost gauge was plumbed inside the car using all rubber vacuum line. There was not one piece of rubber vacuum line longer than 8" before you run into a metal coupler encased in electrical tape. This doosh spent more on metal tubing connectors and electrical tape than if he had gone and bought a 6ft piece of vacuum line.

2) The car had a 2G throttle body elbow on it that was broken right in the apex of the bend at the throttle body. Instead of replacing the elbow (what are they, $10 used?), the guy stuffed a piece of radiator hose inside the throttle body elbow to keep the crack from being exposed. This effectively necked the throttle body elbow down to around 1-1/4" I.D.

Yeah, if it goes on me i will def. go back to a 1g tranny. I had to rig the cables a little bit to get them to fit, but i guess i could always cut them and weld them back together like the old ones were ( forgot about that one) !

Im all for it man! This guy just completely ruined a perfectly good car in every aspect.

Apparently the tool bag claimed to have previously owned a 9 second talon! After seeing my car tho, I think he was actually referring to the longest period of time it ever ran. (not his 1/4 times).

my favorite was my full 3" exhaust, custom welded from the turbo back.(no 02 housing or downpipe)
