Haha! Yes, I'm sure it's an S2000 engine!

It's on the intake manifold, towards the rear of the car, near the firewall. In the previous picture they had removed a coolant fixture on the intake manifold so you could see it.

In this picture it is directly under the gold/copper coolant fixture in the middle of the picture. This is the peice that was removed in the prior picture so you could see the sensor better.

Does the s2k have a crank sensor? MY guess is that it might be that.

I heard about the Knock sensor, i was told that might be it.

Knock Sensor, is it external? where is it located?
I'll get a CEL but if i find it i can disconnect it and see if it's the problem right?
PS if i disconnect the Coolant temp. sensor , just to drive and see if it's the one making the problem, would i damage anything?

It is not the knock sensor.

Have you replaced the gasket around the TB?

Sounds like a air leak.

Thanks, makes sense, but
if it was an air leak, wouldn't it happen all the time, i mean the problem happens after the engine heats up
