chrisdwnng Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 I have a 1998 oldsmobile with the 3.1 V6. We are in the process of rebuilding the motor and ran into a bit of a problem. There is a sensor that we put on the backside of the motor(toward the firewall) and we believe it should be placed on the front side of the engine. just wondering if anyone knew anything about that.

Pokey Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 Got a Haynes manual??? More info on this sensor would help alot too. Quote
str86diesel Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 Pokey's on the right track. Unless you tell us what the sensor is, we can't really tell you about placement..sorry. Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD
chrisdwnng Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Posted January 12, 2007 I have the haynes manual but it doesn't really give pictures of the block on the placement of the sensor. We had to take the motor out and rebuild it and it has been a few months since the last time i worked on it. I can't really remember the name of the sensor sorry Quote
Pokey Posted January 14, 2007 Report Posted January 14, 2007 After thinking about it some today....it could be a knock sensor. Check the manual for it's placement and let me know. Other than that, I can't think of anything that it could be. I don't know newer motors very well, but that's all I can think of for yours. Hope it helps man. Quote

ChevyBoy Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 you got it moved to the right spot but you dont know what sensor it is? dont you think you should leave it alone since you dont know what it is and thats where it was from the factory? Quote
