Yeah it's a little dinged up but I need to drive it for a while until I can get some parts in. With that being said I threw a pass on both sides, hopefully she'll hold up for a while

I'm not sure what sensor applies to this thread so you'll have to give a specific one. Also define "injector plugs"

Ok sensors do not apply to this thread. However some ones knowledge does. Plugs as electrical connectors for MAP sensors and injectors.

Thank you again

yea i would suggest getting those, welding up the cracked one would work as a band aid fix but it will need to be replaced, and remember to remove the LCA so ya dont ruin the bushing

LMAO holy ****ing thread hijack....next time start a thread of your own and be more specific,however someone already called you on the specifics so i would say hit the auto wrecker should be no more than a few dollars otherwise its likely to cost you big elsewhere.
