Re: coolant temp sensor problems
To finish this off with the outcome, so that it has some relevance in searches.
I put the stock sensor back in the stock location in the head and moved the aftermarket one to the water neck. This solved the problem instantly. So the lesson is to leave the stock sensors alone and just add the other ones elsewhere. |
Re: coolant temp sensor problems
LOL!!!!!!!!!
I've watching my gauges more closely during warm up laterly since your posting. Stock gauge at 1/4 while Autometer still below 100! FYI you'll notice the water temp goes to 160-165 and levels off there for a few miles then starts climbing to normal cruising temp of 180-185...........it's just the oil warming up!!!!!!! Oil removes 1/3 of the engine heat and ONLY thing that cools the bearings!!!!!! I just learned this a few weeks ago. My sender using a 29/32 drill bit and 1/4" NPT tap where the bleeder screw used to be. http://www.bettendorf.com/~mrbone/pi...tempsender.jpg |
Re: coolant temp sensor problems
Autometer supplied two fittings like that but I just put the sender straight into the neck like that.
I used a 10mm 1.25TP tap. looks the same as yours. |
Re: coolant temp sensor problems
That's strange. I've had my sensor disconnected(the one wire that goes to the guage)with no CEL's. ??? I always thought that sensor was completely seperate from the ECU and the two-wire sensor was the one that supplied information to the ECU. ???
