    Can anyone tell me what these parts are?

    Haven't been on here in ages...TOO BUSY with school

    Anywho I have taken these 2 pictures and circled them with Paint.

    No idea what these parts are called but one I know it has to do with the temperature gauge inside the car.

    Also anyone know where to buy these?

    Thanks in advance

    The single wire sensor is the sender for the gauge on your dash. It might be called something else, so just look for the one that looks like this:



    Not sure about the other.

    The larger one is a vacuum switch, for the cold distributor advance I think. Rockauto should have both of these parts.

    Yeah It's a thermovalve/ported vaccum switch. I found it here THERMOVALVE (53C). Honda # 17360-PN3-003, 17370-PD2-661, 17370-PH7-003

    But I dont wanna buy OEM its too expensive right now, and i noticed it says 53C so im guessing it operates at that temp?

    I found on rockauto and they have several and tried using the oem stock codes but none match 100%. One says 135 fahrenheit which is 57C.


    Will any suffice?

    Could this be why my egr isnt working as it should because its tied with the egr?

    That thermovalve is one of the evaporative emissions controls (charcoal can), which isn't related to the EGR. This system won't affect the engine while it's running but it may still be flagged as an issue in a visual inspection. The valve from Rockauto will be fine.


    If you failed for NOx then the EGR system is not working. I would start looking there.

    Oh I see thanks bro. So the rockauto ones all have the same thread size then? Rockauto can get confusing on their descriptions sometimes like I just bought a distributor cap and rotor for like $10 both shipped and they were for TEC and I didnt know there was a difference between the Hitachi lol I do now.

    LOL. I did that the first time too. As far as I know those sensors all use the same thread.
