coolant temperature sensor


Recommended Posts

Yeah I busted up that sensor when I put the 4.0 back in my XJ...tried a bunch of parts stores but none of their books ever had anything like it. So I just threw the fan on a switch on the dash.

 

that sensor controls fuel-air mixture based on the temp of your engine, so if you disconnected it its running rich as hell since it automatically assumes its -40 and richens up the fuel-air as much as possible.
