Three sensors that can cause issues and control the quality of your 3.2 car running well.

Cylinder head sensor - usually shows up when the car is warm - can cause stumbling under acceleration - flat spots in power curve. No start after warm.

2 reference sensors - located on the flywheel. Same types of issues - can also cause a hard start at cold - stumbling, timing related types of issues - backfires -

You can pull the connectors on the driver's side of the engine bay - If you have the old one pin connector for the CHT - replace it.

When you do a engine R & R or clean - change out the two reference sensors at the flywheel - if they are original - you will see where the rubber shell insulation used to be.
