[T3] I'm a little confused about the cylinder head temp sonsor



It's more like black and tan, with the tan ones to the rear. Rear is 
toward the rear of the car. Once the engine is warmed up, I don't 
think it makes much difference, as the heat of the engine will 
vaporize the fuel regardless. It probably makes a bit of difference 
at idle on a cold engine, where the wait time can be longer.

For port injection there's no "bad" time to inject, there are just 
okay times and better times. Consider the fact that L-jet does TWO 
squirts per revolution of the distributor while K-jet just sprays all 
the time.

The Bentley manual says black and grey, but the grey has turned 
brownish (tan) over the years. The black probably hasn't changed. I 
believe the colors were the same for all years.  The "set" in your 
harness is probably correct.
