I found a replacement engine for my Focus. Everything looks the same besides a electrical sensor in the center of the valve cover between the coil packs. Anyone know what it is ? And if I could run with it unplugged

picture shows the original valve cover and the replacement engine with the additional sensor . I believe it a head temp sensor. Question is do I really need it. or can I just unplug it and use the original sensors.

Why did you have to replace your engine?
I think Makuloco said it was for coolant? Believe he mentioned this piece on his spark plug change video.

I'm sorry, not for coolant but maybe a sensor related to coolant? I'm honestly not sure.

Thanks for the help. I ended up speaking with a buddies brother. He is a engineer at Ford. He told me to just leave it unplugged, it is a extra sensor the newer computer needs. We put the engine in and it started the first turn of the key. It runs perfect with no codes. It has a few hundred miles on it now. Our car is a 2012 and the new engine came out of a 2016.

Apparently it's a head temperature sensor. Not sure why they added that exactly.

50$ muffler swap
DURATEC Ti-VCT Performance (2012-Current)I’ve had my focus for a little over a year and I’ve been looking at the muffler deletes since then. So I checked here and at a couple muffler shops and everyone said to just cut the muffler out and swap it with a a 2 foot length of pipe (shops wanted 200$ to do it). I never liked the idea of...- 3

2.3L Throttle Body on SE
DURATEC Ti-VCT Performance (2012-Current)I was wondering if anyone had error codes when they have done the throttle body swap to an SE from the 2.3L . The posts and videos I have seen have all said plug and play. An engine fault code message and that the hill assist code not be activated. My only thought is if this is not compatible...- 2

Difference between Sedan and Hatchback exhaust wise.
DURATEC Ti-VCT Performance (2012-Current)Hi there, I was looking around at the various different exhausts available for the NA focus and I really like the sound of the ford performance one but it only fits onto the hatchback whilst I have the sedan. What would I need to do to get it to fit onto a sedan or am I better off just getting...- 0
