Hello.
I have a 1988 2.3. It was parked for a decade after a major rebuild: we changed pistons, rings, connecting rods, etc. Now I'm working on taking it back to its most glorious time and form. I am checking and testing all the sensors hoping this little truck will be able to pass the smog inspections. But I'm not an expert at all

So... is this the coolant temperature sensor? 😅

I'm not 100% sure since Autozone shows me these two options:

Also, I could not find the air charge temp sensor nowhere 🫠. I found a video on YT of somebody saying it should be here on the intake manifold:

But another guy said there is where the knock sensor should be at.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
knock sensors weren't used on all versions but yeah I think that's where one would be, I'd ignore it...

The first pic is the gauge sensor, I think the sensor for the computer is in the lower intake manifold by the fuel rail by the #2 injector
 
Thanks a lot! I'll look for those sensors and senders and change them if needed
