Except for color the temp2 sensor plug is that same as a fuel injector plug. There are many varieties available in the aftermarket. Dennis

Connect that to the screw-in single contact temp sensor. The other wire is ground .. you can ground it or just leave it there. I think it just goes to a ground anyway , so grounding it won't hurt or help actually. Save the 2WD 2.1 waterboxer connector plug and a few inches of wiring ... if someone needs one, there's no easy way to get one. scott turbovans On 4/21/2013 7:48 AM, Dennis Haynes wrote: > Yes.
