willd Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Hi guys. My temperature gauge isn’t working and I know it is probably the sensor. I found one going into the intake manifold. I’m just not sure if that is the right one. It sounds like there might be two of them on this model. If it is working I really don’t want to mess with it. I have the hand manual and know how to check but I want to make sure I’m checking the right sensor. Could anybody with the same motor send me a picture? My Haynes manual is not exactly helping.

GeneralDisorder Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Disconnect it and ground the lead - does the gauge go all the way to hot? You got the right thermistor. If it doesn't try the other one. If it still doesn't you have gauge or wiring problems. GD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willd Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 Got it. Is there only one sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptoe's photos Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 the sensor is usually a single wire under the thermostat. another sensor for auto choke off or pollution stuff is elsewhere, much fatter and screws into a bracket and not actually making contact with coolant.

azdave Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Single wire temperature sensor located near thermostat housing on my EA82. Should be similar for yours. Edited July 6, 2022 by azdave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
