If you go to the www.2gnt.com/index.php?d=Acronyms of the wiki, you will find a lot of abbreviations commonly used around here (and other DSM boards). While answering some guy's question about where to find the VSS on Tuners just a minute ago, it hit me that it would be really cool if there were pictures of commonly discussed sensors in the wiki over here.
So, next time you're out there wrenching on your car, consider snapping a picture of any sensors in the area. Upload those pictures to the site and go to the acronyms page to find the abbreviation for them. Then put those pictures up under their links.
Think how helpful it will be to everyone in the future if you can simply link someone directly to a picture of exactly where the sensor they're asking about is located! You don't have to spend ten minutes trying to describe, in detail, how to find something! That would be sweet.
Remember, 4G63/Evo information can go in the wiki too!
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but the more I think about the potential of this wiki, the more excited I get. Much respect to Dino for writing all that code and making it work. Wo0t!

good idea. How bout adding that they should all be resized to something like 400X400 or something similar to that to keep things clean and uncluttered. Last thing we need is someone uploading a 10MP picture of a IAT.

Driggs, thanks for clearing that up. Haha I'm surprised I never figured that one out, oh well now I know.
And Eric, wow that's cool! If we could incorporate that into the Wiki somehow that would be an awesome guide/help for everyone. Or better yet, an NA engine guide, and a boosted 420A guide.
Wow something like that would be awesome. I might be able to take a few photos since I've still got the car partially taken apart, but all sensors are plugged back in

There are a few back there. Going from left to right, oil pressure/dummy light sensor, knock sensor, and crankshaft position sensor. Am I forgetting any?
Edit: Remember what Dj said, size the pics so that they are not huge in dimension or storage size.

heres some sensors from the back of the block... anyone care to identify them?
EDIT: Even at 4 megapixel, my engine bay looks fucking HORRIBLE
