[EGTgtx]

i was wondering if this is the plug for the engine coolant sensor

heres where it came from

also i was wondering wtf this thing is underneath it

Yeah... thats the coolant temp sensor.
What do they call the sensor that screws directly into the goosneck?

Yes that's the Water temp sensor.

CBlaze, if you mean the thermostate housing by "gooseneck", it's the Water Thermoswitch. It's what controlls the turn on and off of your thermofans.

i was not 100% sure it was the themp sensor, now i'm sure. and the one on the back near the oil filter on the gtx its the kock sensor right??

There are two sensors on the back of the GTX engine. One is the knock sensor...it's the highest one of the two. Located directly between 2&3 cylinders.

The 2nd is the oil pressure switch. If i remember correctly the oil pressure switch has a yellow/red stripe wire. The knock sensor has a plain black wire (it's thicker than the pressure switch and connot be removed off the sensor).
