So can anyone help me with identifying what these sensors are so I can fix it?

you can see the chewed up wire on the left with barely any copper left.
Sensor in the middle not no wire left and sensor to the right with barely any wire left.

Since they chewed it up to the base of the plug, I guess I will need to get another one due to lack of space for soldering.

Car seems to be running fine without it but still need to fix it.

Motor is ka24de-t

it is near the thermostat. Looks like it is the temp sensor and knock sensor. I will take some more pics of it and see what the heck is going on.

One is your temperature sender, which has nothing to do with the way the engine runs except for making your temperature gauge work.

The other looks like knock sensor.

yeah, seems to be a knock sensor. Shouldnt the car act weird without the knock sensor? I am running ka-t with Enthlapy ecu.

thanks for the help, i figured it out and it was the temp gauge and knock sensor. Right now I was looking if anyone had a spare connector.

Not true. There are field mice and not just house mice. Either way, whomever ate this is responsible for it and now i have to replace it. :smash:
