my sensor has snapped and i was wondoring if its anything important or just gives me a reading of my cars temperature =]

Yes the coolant temp sensor is important...especially since your in hialeah...im in Broward...Fla gets hot...if your car begins to overheat youd never know it.Originally posted by CB7PWNAGEmy sensor has snapped and i was wondoring if its anything important or just gives me a reading of my cars temperature =] -
damn man i gota go to my local junk yard and snatch it off =]Comment

dude...just go buy one...there like 10 or 15 bucks at autozone...don't go to a junk yard for that....you go to the junk yard for big stuff."I can imagine no more rewarding a career.

Which temp sensor?
Just go to a junk yard and get it from any obd1 car. Most yards will just let it go for free since its such a small part.

mine is broke and i was wondering if it does anything 2 the idle?Could that be why my fan dont work?Comment

it is DIRECTLY related to mileage... there are like 3 aren't there? One for the gauge, one for the ecu, and another somewhere else?
Either way yeah it's important.__

BTW- just a lil side note for everyone.... who reads this
a bad/faulty ECT can cause problems. it can cause troubles with warm-startups! basically the sensors sends the wrong voltage reading to the ecu and in turn dumps too much fuel. Also this can happen and it will NOT throw a CEL.
if sensor is more than 1v the sensor is bad. @ normal coolant temp, the sensor should send a .5-.7v reading to the ECU. 1v or more is telling the ECU the engine is cold.

That was a quote from a repair manual...but I think I should have said...it will directly effect gas mileage...or better yet...fuel delivery volume...or flow...or something...but on with the story.Originally posted by SMseagren83
As to why...the coolant temp sensor is one of the many sensors used to directly effect how much gas your ecu squirts. Colder coolant equals cold start...and on cold start the ecu pumps more fuel.
More fuel helps cold engines start more easily. When mine messed up it was more difficult to start the car on cold mornings, which was how I knew something was up.
My 240 does the same thing but it has another injector...the cold start injector. Honda just opened them up longer instead.
If the sensor reads that your temp is low, it will pump more gas into the cylinders, even after the engine is warmed up (coolant actually)
It will be enough to notice a change in gas mileage. or in Australia terms...gas kilometerage...???...uh...I don't know foreign exchange on words

heh...heh...heh...yeah you did...my bad
unless the threads are stripped there shouldn't be any problem...oooo...unless you snap off hex part...but that'd be hard to do...unless you whacked it good.Originally posted by JDMugenBB1____Comment
