On my 75 f100 4x4 360 the Air cleaner has the PCV filter coming out of the housing and also what looks like some kind of a sensor. It clips to the housing and has two electrical wires that snap into a plastic housing laying on the intake manifold. Need to know what this part is called as the wires are broken and I need to replace. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Can you post a photo?

 

Posting pics is not my strong suit however will try. Thanks

 

Was the fitting going into the air cleaner/pcv or is the sensor in the intake manifold ?

 

It clips into the air cleaner, close to the PCV inlet, and the other end plugs into what appears to be an electrical unit.

 

Hopefully someone can chime in, but definitely a smog California truck ?

 

DISTRIBUTOR MODULATOR SYSTEM

The actual part you are describing is an AIR TEMP SENSOR (Basic PN 12A164), part of the above named system.

 

Thanks for the reply. I see the part I have in the picture.

 

9D695 is the crankcase ventilation filter. It's retained to the air cleaner with the 9E628 clip that also retains the 384411-S elbow.

9E607 is the air temp control sensor. 9E862 is the air temp sensor override valve.

12A164 is the distributor modulator temperature ambient switch. Complete part number: D5AZ-12A164-B (Motorcraft SW-1250) / Obsolete ~ 31+ available NOS
