On an MFi inlet manifold it is the green plug on the right hand side of the manifold....

right hand corner towards the top...

ECT is blue plug at the back/bottom on EFi inlet manifold, and i think MFi too

The green sensor/plug IS the knock sensor. The blue plug IS the cold start valve. Brown is thermo time switch etc. .

if the injector is leaking when fully warmed up it may suggest it needs replaced other than just unplugging it, so not an electrical fault but mechanical with the injector.

ive heard the cold start valve gets its reading from the etc so if it reads from this and that is wrong then itd be on all the time.

I want to unplug them all i dont like all these idiot proof sensors, i take it the blue and the and the brown plugs are the two plugs round the back of the manifold in the middel then in which case i can just disconect both?

where its al grubby round there i cant see what color they are hense why i am asking if i can just discoinect both?

not sure that there is a leak my car is just realy bad on petrol and i only use on sunny days so might aswell disonect it as i dont need it and its just another thing that may be wasting petrol.
