Andy,

The Syncro was not available till MY '86, and did not come with a 1.9l
engine.  Perhaps you are trying to install the sensor in the wrong place
or in the wrong way or . . .

The T2 Sensor should be located on the thermostat housing against the
firewall on the driver's side.  If not there, someone has pulled a
switcheroo on your engine/coolant system.  You need to describe what you
have.

Well, I picked up a temp 2 sensor for my thought to be 86 (so the title
says), but it didn't fit, called auto store checked door jam and it
turns out my
syncro was made in 7/85. Can't go wrong with the door jam. Hopefully the
sensor
will cure my sputtering problem, grounds are clean and I'm putting brand
new
cap/rotor and wires in just to be 100% sure.
