Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    need to identify a sensor

    Ok, under the distributor, there is the coolant temp sensor, but what is the sensor next to it (closer to the front of car)?

    Both Are hella soaked in oil and was just wondering how critical it is that they dont give the wrong reading if the oil causes an abnormal signal due to short circuiring



    Thanks to all who help

    I believe one of those two are coolant high temp switch and the other is coolant temp transducer for temp gauge.

      x2.

      One is the engine coolant temp sensor that sends it's signal to the ECU (2 wire) and the other sensor is the engine coolant temp sensor that sends it's signal to the gauge cluster (1 wire).

        Ok, but then what about the sensors on the thermostat housing and the housing for the upper radiator hose?

          Those would be your engine coolant temperature switches, A & B. They are used in conjunction with the fan control module to operate your cooling fans.

              No indication in temp gauge or no fan coming on when the engine is exceedingly hot and ignition is off.

                Ok is there a resistance test for these? there's times where I have the key in the on running position (with the engine not running) and the fan comes on, but if i take the key out the fan turns off

                      rad fan switch is on the t housing

                      temp sending unit to ecu is on the cylinder head under dizzy on left

                      engine temp sensor is under dizzy on right 1 wire

                      fan switch when temps rise above 210 with engine off in on upper radiator hose(lets fans come on when engine is not on or key in ignition)

                          Also make sure its not rigged up. I had a honda that someone had rigged for the fans to come on everytime you have the switch open.
