  • Coolant temp. sensor

    So when i went to take the old one off my old water pump the plastic piece broke, so i went and got a new one only to find that the thread part of it is longer, and i can barely get any of it to thread in the new pump. is it posible that its not the right one ??

    I've found that when dealing with parts, anything is possible.

        There are two different CLT temp sensors on your engine - a single wire sensor in the drivers side head to feed the dash gauge, and a two wire sensor in the water pump to feed the PCM. It's possible they gave you the wrong one. Does it have 2-pins on the connector, or 1-pin?

          its got 2 pins on it, its about one and a half times the size of the origional one, but i got it as far in as it will go and it seems ok (although tightening it was a well for lack of colorful language, a pain in the rear). i think i should be ok to just hook every thing up but mabey im wrong ? figure its better to ask the guys who have done it a few times, than have to be the guy that does it a few times in one week.
