Engine Sensor?? I need help
I have a 1976 Pontiac sunbird and my car won't start because of this little sensor thing and the left side of the engine by the spark plugs is broken off. I need help to know what it is and where i can get a replacement.

Is it by the cylinder 2 sparkplug visible in this photo?

The only thing I can think of would be the oil pressure switch, which looks like it may fit the bill.

Yes it is

But would that make the engine not start because the terminal on the sensor thing leads to the ignition box.

I am not familiar with those cars, but it's not inconceivable for GM to design it so that the ignition kills if the oil pressure drops. It's something I would appreciate.
The list of other things it could be on that car would be relatively short. If you pull the sensor out, crank the engine a bit, and have oil everywhere, than you could almost bet money on it. Given that you can likely get it at a local parts chain for $15 (they may need to special order it, or order it from Rockauto) it's a relatively cheap part to throw at it. |
What is this?

Only other thing I can think of would be a coolant temperature switch.

It's neither of them
