What is this called / Where does this go / What does this do? [MERGED]

[forcefed594]

This is probably a dumb question, but what is the part called that holds the front suspension in place and bolts up to the knuckle in a 1g? Does anyone know where i can find this part?

 

[horizontalkev]

Is this my coolant temperature sensor? Looks different than what I've dealt with before on anther guys Gst.

Thats the temperature sensor for the fans (ecu),
The temperature sensor for the gauge is on one side of it, it's a one wire connector, (is two inches away towards the head).

So that's the one that I need to test for cold my start problem right?

 

[miguelmcv]

Yes that's the one..

 

[horizontalkev]

Yes that's the one..

At -2°F resistance is 13,000 ohms. Hmm

I know there is a damn thread for what is this part blH blah but I cannot find it. I just spent like 10 mins searching... Anyways what is this? I've been doing timin, water pump, new pulleys, can and crank seals and I don't remember removing something like this and it was just under the car

Dowel for the trans?

 

[miguelmcv]

Looks like the timing belt cover guide or what ever you want to call it.

Check the timing cover where the bolts goes, with that out of there, there should be a wide hole in there.

Just check the belt cover and look at all the holes where the bolts goes and you will see it.

Dowel for the trans?

Looks to small for the trans dowel, unless he has HUGE fricking fingers

Will do. And you know what they say about a man with big hands and fingers

 

[Insane20]

Ya big gloves . But I agree that looks just like those timing cover pieces as said above.

 

[TsiTuner]

It looks like the transmission dowel pin to me but no telling..

 

[JusMX141]

It's a metal sleeve which fits into a rubber bushing in the lower timing cover behind the crank pulley. Should have a 6mm bolt going through it.

Its in my parts bin but i don't know what it is!

 

[19Eclipse90]

It is the A/C condenser fan motor resistor.

Thanks Brian. Appreciate it. For a 1G correct?

 

[19Eclipse90]

Yes, sir.

Is it the piece shown here in this picture? What does it do? Allow for the variable speeds of the fan?

 

[19Eclipse90]

That's it. The mating connector is A-32 in this article: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-electrical-wiring/473792-1990-engine-compartment-wiring-harness.html.

 

[edged1g]

i have another part i need help identifying!

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Where did you pull that from? Looks like an interior piece bracket

 

[edged1g]

I don't know where it came from. Its just hanging out in a box. I'm thinking 1g antenna bracket maybe? Any more ideas?

No one has any ideas?

 

[19Eclipse90]

1G antenna bracket would be my guess, too.

 

[TsiTuner]

Ok what is this?? Excuse the horrible paint use . The silver box is for the cruise control. Is the thing circled in red related to cruise control as well? Im getting ready to delete the cruise soon so i need to know.
