Using both stock and aftermarket water temp sensors
Edit
I think I have figured out my problem.
I am just gonna use a resistor to tell the ECU that I am always at a proper running temp. In the winter I will have to make a switch or something for cold days.
anyone every try this to simulate a temp sensor?

Re: Using both stock and aftermarket water temp sensors
I was trying to avoid taping the front connection. I don't really care about the stock sensor, I just want to have the CEL go away, and the fan to come on automaticly.

Re: Using both stock and aftermarket water temp sensors
neither setup will effect the fan, it has it's own seperate switch.
But, once you run both gauges at the same time, you'll see just how shitty the stock gauge is. 130-200F the stock gauge doesn't move a bit.
Also, when drag racing, you need 170 F water temp when staging to endure consistant ET's. My D16Z6 would run .2-.3 seconds slower if not up to temp after burnout.
BTW It only cost $7 for the drill and tap from Home depot. 7/16" bit (I went up to 29/64th's) and 1/4" NPT tap with a 1/4" to 1/8" reducer bushing. There isn't enough threads to tap for the 1/8" NPT fitting, I tried and got leaks ASAP!

Re: Using both stock and aftermarket water temp sensors
make sure the connector on the thermostat housing (fan switch) is hooked up. Find ANY 92-95 thermo housing and mod to fit. If I can find the tools, I'll mod you one to fit for a cheap price. Like $10 + shipping.
What happen to the housing from the EX motor
You could send it along with the temp sender and bung, I send back a working setup.
I'm cheap (jobless!) just expect you to cover all shipping.

What temp should the fan turn on at?
