What goes where the white hole is in the pic? Its at the rear of the block. Sensor or something? Its a 88 f150 5.0l.
Thanks guys
we no the hole is a sensor but the bbk intake goes back and hits it so we removed it and need to know if we can plug it or if the sensor has to go there? we have another 5.0 block in the garage and it doesnt have the hole for the sensor in it. we are kinda stumped! preshate the help

 

Probably just there, or possibly for the trans dipstick? Ford puts holes everywhere for different set ups.

 

cant be the trans dipstick its onthe engine block. it had a sensor in it. we just didnt know what the sensor was for?

 

Might be a knock sensor. The knock sensor retards the timing when pre ignition starts or the engine starts to ping.

 

this is the sensor that came out minus the plastic top i broke off. preshate it

 

That might be it, get one, if the plug ins are the same it is it.

 

oil pressure sensor maybe i need to see sensor you removed

 

The threaded side looks like a coolant temperature sensor, but I think you would notice coolant in there. I don't have the 5.0.

Nice truck in your avatar. How about some full sized pics?

 

If its at the rear of the block, I think its the knock sensor. Does the hole goes all the way troguh . can u see any water or oil coming out. if not thats teh knock sensor.

 

Thanks for all the help from everybody, ill let you guys know but im thinkin its the knock sensor also now thank you
