Is your ZE OBDII? If not, those sensors are the same, just check to see how many sensors are on the filler neck.

only sensor(S) I had to change:<p>Relocated the knock sensor (wire only) from the TB side to the coolant neck side.<p>on 1992 and 1993 Model Mx-3's the water temp sensor is located on the water neck. On all other years as well as ZE engines it is located in or near the radiator. Solution is to take the K8 water neck and switch it to the Ze engine...not a big deal if you are going to change the timing belt.<p>Cage

get ze ecu and run the 1.8 vaf meter or 1.8 ecu with 2.5vaf that is all I changed ,<p>save your self the 100$ for the 2.5 vaf and buy the ze ecu for 3-400$ from lazzy ( how ever you spell that) because you will want it later. check the ze ecu reveiw from dave colman last week.

He already got an ecu of me. $300-400 what you must be talking Canadian here. I am not Corksport :) . Anyways. If you have a 92-93 you have to swap the water inlet on the passenger side of the motor. The knock sensor only needs to be changed if you plan on using your k8 computer for emissions. The crank sensor is a case to case thing. Gotta pull the wire for the knock sensor across to the passenger side of the motor like Cage said. If you are swapping trannies as well swap all the sensors from the k8. If you need help you have my email address most people just hit me up that way.

there are only 4 sensors on the engine. TPS(throttle sensor), Knock, cooling fan switch, and crank sensor.<p>The coolant sensor in the water pipe at the front of the engine is best changed by transfering the whole pipe assembly from the K8 to the ZE when you change the timming belt.
