Default Found problem with my engine bay

So I finally pulled the engine out and look what I found in the engine bay. No wonder it was smelling funny.



wth, there's a little asian dood in there too and he's trying to escape!!


but i grabbed a 1/2" breaker bar and knocked it unconcious.


phew. now i just gotta get rid of it before it starts stinking up the garage.




so now engine's out and i'm gonna start tearing it apart. yay

I think what you are asking about is the speed and reference sensors. They connect to the bell housing, that's what makes the DME do it's job.

Yeah man... seems like S and R sensors like Craig said.
And the plugs are not interchangeable so plug the same one back into the same wire.

Should help performance, as they're usually lighter, right?

What's a hachi?

That is no ordinary Asian dood... That is a highly skilled Ninja preforming the "crouching tiger / missing engine" maneuver. Deadly....

hachi-roku (japanese for "8-6") the 1986 toyota trueno aka toyota corolla gt-s in USA. toyota's last front engine rwd car. it's big in the import scene as the drift car in the anime cartoon series Initial D. in that series, that car was also painted white/black panda color scheme.
