Hey guys I accidentally broke a sensor on my truck with a wrench......damit..... It's located next to the distributor. I can't figure out what sensor it is though any help would be very appreciated. My truck is a 1995 f150 4.9l i6 4wd, hope you can see the pics. THANKS

Did any fluid come out of the hole it came from? I would think it's the coolant temp sensor but I really don't know much about the locations of stuff on the 4.9.

Nope no liquid came out, but it's hard to say because i drained the coolant. Im doing the head gasket right now.

looks like the knock sensor to me

According to Autozone:
The Coolant Temperature Sensor is located:
Under hood, center, front engine area, mounted in driver side front of cylinder head

The Knock Sensor is located:
Under hood, driver side, lower engine area, below ignition coil, mounted in engine block

I'm thinking it might be the knock sensor if you have the head off.

that is the knock sensor, it is located right next to the distributor, and they are an obsolete part, the only way you will get one is to pull one off another motor. mine looks just like yours does.
