What are the sensors on carburetor of a 1995 dodge dakota?

A 1995 Dodge Dakota, even with a carburetor (assuming it's not fuel-injected), wouldn't have electronic sensors *on* the carburetor itself in the same way a fuel-injected system would. Carburetors are fundamentally mechanical devices.

While there might be a vacuum port on the carburetor used for various engine functions (like the vacuum advance for the distributor), this isn't a sensor in the electronic sense. It's a source of vacuum that other components use.

The engine control system of a 1995 Dakota (even if carbureted) would likely have some sensors related to engine operation that *influence* the carb's functionality indirectly. These sensors would be located elsewhere, such as:

* Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor: This sensor measures engine load and can influence things like the spark timing indirectly, but it wouldn't be connected directly to the carburetor.

* Throttle Position Sensor (TPS): While more common on fuel-injected systems, some later-model carbureted vehicles might have started using a TPS to provide information to the engine management system. This is less likely on a 1995 Dakota with a carburetor.

* Oxygen Sensor (O2 sensor): If this Dakota has some form of rudimentary feedback for emissions (though unlikely on a simple carbureted system), there might be an O2 sensor in the exhaust system whose readings might indirectly affect other engine parameters.

In short, the carburetor itself wouldn't have sensors in the electronic sense; it relies on mechanical linkages and vacuum for operation. Any sensors related to engine control would be located elsewhere in the engine bay. The overwhelming likelihood is that a 1995 Dakota with a carburetor will have *no* sensors connected directly *to* the carburetor itself.
