Is it some sort of temperature measuring device, like a thermocouple?

Maybe next time I'll get it right, if someone doesn't ask WHAT SENSOR IS THIS? when it's not a sensor.

It also looks similiar to the SPOUT on the Duratec. Approximately found in the same area, but a bit more to the passenger side. The Noise Filter is a bit different looking on my car, but then again, I have a Duratec.
BTW, SPOUT = Spark Output
I love my Contour to death, but my 'vette is still my #1 baby.
There's money to be made in racing. I should know. I put a lot of it there.
You can make a small fortune in racing. Start with a large one.
How fast do you want to go...how much money do you have?
You can fix a lot of things, but you can't fix stupid!

OOUUU Looks like some1 told you. Go find that other side. And you put quotes on it, so that means u'r quoting some1 as saying it's a sensor. Being that I don't know who u'r quoting, I figure it would be you or Ford.
