 |
|
| Bought a temp sensor today for my EL I6 and the salesperson asked me which one?? I thought there was only the one thats on the thermostat housing but the other one that he showed me was a smaller barrel type that about the size of a ciggy butt with a single spade terminal. If this one does exist on the I6 where is could it be located?? Its apparently to sent temps to the ECU. |

| From what i've read so far the multi-wire plug is for the ECU, and on the EBII etc the single spade talks to the dash temp guage. I'm not sure about the EL, but i have an EL motor and thermostat housing so i should know or could check, but then so could you, i guess. But i'm sure someone will know. |

| Yeah i have climate control but im sure they wouldnt have a seperate sensor just for that on the engine. I've had off the head before and have never had to unplug anything from the main loom apart from 1 temp sensor, oil sender, knock sensor, speedo sender/trans loom. I have never seen of heard of this other temp sensor till today. Unless he was talking about the external temp sensor that is for climate control that i have never actually seen in my car before as its located at the front of the car. |

He's getting his E-Series 4Ls mixed up I think.
EF/EL don't have a seperate temp sensor for climate control or dash because they both get that data from the ECU. |

yep
in the ef/el all the info is recieved from the large coolant temp sensor on the thermostat housing and the ecu does the rest..
but in eb/ed thay have a large collant temp sensor for the ecu.and a seperate sender for the temp guage(small one with the spade terminal) and a 3rd one for climate controle. |

The above posts are correct.
The gauge sender is compatible between EBII and EL, the calibration is the same, EA/EBI is slightly different.
Why do you need a new temp sensor? - they're normally trouble free. |
