I assume it is the sensor since it is all the time and there are no signs of overheating, but it worries the heck out of me to see it there! Has anyone seen this before? Is it going to hurt it to drive like that (maybe throw the computer off) until I get it replaced? Black '98 SVT KKM Intake 17" Enkei's SS Y-Pipe 9mm Ford Racing plug wires Various aesthetic mods.
