We would need an engine size to answer that. There are a lot of choices so give us the 8th digit of the VIN#.

Bio fuel? You mean it's a diesel?
That's why I asked for the VIN code.

OK, single overhead CNG. B6 and B10 are the 2 sensors. I think B6 is the one you are looking for. http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa448/Wrenchtech/83208974.gif
