What Connector for this sensor? [TKC5050]

Can someone tell me what connector is used on this switch? It is the AC Cut Out switch on the TR8 intake manifold.

The one that was there is long gone and I have two bare blade connectors stuck in this. Must have been some type of connector.

Any help would be most appreciated.

I believe it is just two squarish female spade connectors. I'll get a picture when I get a chance.

No problem! Just in case it isn't clear in the picture, each wire has its own connector.

Where is that?
Under the front drivers corner of the fuel rail?

You have a blanking plate over the port. So assume your car is a NON AC car....no?

I also see a bolt spun in on the the themrotime switch location. Is that temporary?


There is a lot of stuff going on in that picture.

What is that Green plug middle lower?
Are the injectors just set in there? I ask because the rubber rings and hold down brackets are missing.
The flame trap is a small little thing compared to mine....

Hi Don,

Yes, that's where it is.

I thought it was part of the fan system, and the ROM calls it the engine temperature switch. The one shown in the ROM uses three screws to attach to the intake manifold, it looks like your manifold might be setup for that kind (except for the big hole in the middle for the sensor to contact the coolant).

TKC5050 is the high fan cut in switch for the AC cars. The low speed fan is on the left side of the radiator. The switch (sensor) I am asking about is on the manifold and triggers the fans to move from low speed to high speed.

I also attached two leads form this sensor to a toggle switch under the dash. It allows me to go into "parade mode" and turn the high speed fans on when I want to.

Non AC cars have a blanking plate installed over the sensor port. The blanking plate is held in place with three screws...like the one I see in your picture.

My Computer does mine, That's why mine is blanked off.
I wonder if my blanking plate is stock

This is what the ROM shows the switch looking like, don't know if the early ones were this way or not.

Must have missed the answers when I posted
As I answered Randy , mine is A/C but the computer controls the fans so I don't need the switch

The Green plug is the MAF sensor connection
And I don't know what the flame trap is??

Edit- Forgot the Injector question
This is a set up out of a rover.
They just set into the base and the rail plugs into them

The thing at the front of the right valve cover. It should have a hose that connects to your intake plenum to burn the crankcase fumes.

So nothing clamps the injectors into the intake manifold? Looking at you picture, there appears to be some brackets on the fuel rail that might attach to the intake? Perhaps that is what keeps the injectors seated?

I believe the link I listed (and is the same as the Wedge list) is correct.
