poor idle, what cold start sensor haha

alright.. so i decided i was going to throw the tester on the cold start sensor and as soon as i hardly touched the connector with the testor probe the connector just fell right off.. finally FINALLY causing my check engine light to come on lol

so the actual cold start sensor itself is soo rotted you cant even see where the connector hooks back onto it, no even close

but the good news is the connetor will be able to be saved with a little bit of cleaning! at least the truck doesent run any different, still like crap but didnt get any worse
