OLS Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 I can not locate the CTS. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I am going to make the assumption (yeah!) that you have the standard intake and not the spider, or something different from mine. Asuming that I attached the pic ok, what you are looking for is the sensor UNDER all the stuff in the BLUE circle (white circle is knock sensor... reused image!). It is just to the passenger side of the coolant crossover on the intake; or it is just in front of the drivers-side-most (?) bolt on the turbo, and almost directly below the PCV piping.

OLS Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 I think I finally figured out where it is. Just under the thermostat housing. The thing is that the part I got from autozone has 2 electrical connectors on it while the thingi that i thik is the cts on my car has only one connector? Did they give me the wron part? or am I still looking on the wrong place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Try this pict, it may help, you do not give a year and the intake manifold changed in 87 This is the old style http://www.westol.com/neper/colsn.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLS Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 My bad. It is a 87 turbo 4wd coupe. Still can not find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 ... It is a 87 turbo 4wd coupe. Still can not find it. Folks, could this be a spider manifold? Is there another manifold variant? Anybody got a pic of where the CTS is on a Spider manifold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 yake up the "turbo" air plenum, pop off the hose from the bottom, just behind the turbo you will see the clip, its tan color and looks like the clip on each fuel injector. one of the hoses will be near in the way, but you can get it with a 17mm socket and extension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLS Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 Let's try with pics. Is this the CTS? and if it is, how do you get to it without taking off the intake manifold?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Not an expert, as I have seen only one "spider" manifold, but that looks like one to me. If I am not wrong, then you need to get input from someone that knows this not-common manifold. If you don't get a quick response, you might try changing your thread title to include "spider manifold"... ought to draw viewers like flies!

stngllhm Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 it is on the lower part of the manifold basically below the thortle cable hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLS Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 I see a sensor on the lower part of the manifold, but how on earth do you get to it? Also what is the sensor on the picture? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stngllhm Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 sorry can't say what the one in the pic is i just went and looked there is nothing there on mine. as far as getting to it i'm pretty sure you will have to take the upper part off the intake. it is not that hard three bolts on each side and the egr and the throttle cable and electical cables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 if I could dig my spyder out before it got dark this would be all over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
