Well i noticed it before i turned the car on but didnt realize what it was... there were 2 prongs sticking out of my water pump, then later did i see a plug and wire dangling over the crank pulley... well i guess whatever i did pulled the socket right off... so now its got two prongs, the wire is still plugged in to the thing w/ the clip but that fell off ...

(this wire branches off to the same wire in the intake duct.)

i dont wanna plug it in backwards, so would anyone know which way is the right way?

 

does anyone have a picture of their water pump stock, in there car so i can look?

 

How's this? http://shbox.com/1/temp_sensor1.jpg

 

heh i couldnt find that but i still cant see the colors of the wires ... which one is on top?

 

would it be ok if i just let it hang for a few weeks until i got around to a new plug?

 

Definetly not, your pcm uses this readout to adjust a number of things.

 

would anyone be able to look outside to see which (color) wire is on top?

 

dark wire goes to the right of the clip. so the clip is on the bottom and the dark wire is on the right.

Although it shouldnt matter.

 

thx guys ummm it seemed to have stayed for my 20 mile round trip drive, it looks like there is a 5/8 nut on there does that come off so i can put a new clip on?

or does the whole water heater need to be replaced?

 

Dont pull that 5/8" "nut"off, or you will have water everywhere!

That is part of the sensor that threads into the water pump.

YOu will probably have to unplug the sensor, take apart the plug and go from there
