Coolant Temp Sensor Location

[Altiman94]

I was told my Coolant Temp Sensor is bad causing my bobbing idle. I wanna know the location of this sensor and how I can check to verify that it's indeed causing my problem. It is the one for the ecu, not the gauge cluster. Thanks in advance. Also, a part number would help out as well as any advice you have for putting this in correctly.

On the DE, it's next to the intake mani where the top rad hose goes in, just below the air burp hole (for getting air out of coolant). Not sure about the E.

i believe the ecu sensor is right beside the gauge sensor.single wire with a black clip.

[Altiman94]

that's what I was told, that it was a single wired connector. I'm going to replace this as soon as I get my car back from the shop.

hopefully it corrects my idle.

[allthrottlenobottle]

it should, i did mine at the same time and my idle smoothed out (but i didn't have a real bobbing idle,just some variation)hope it goes well

where is the one for the gauge, cause my gauge isn't working. my car is a 89

2 wire plug where rad hose meets engine block by thermostat housing

Does anybody know where it is on an s14 sr20det, I Have weird idle problems. Sometines when i shift my rpms wont go back down, they will stay at 2500-3000 rpms for a while even when i am stopped and in neutral??

so on the kae, the ECU temp gauge is single wire, and gauge cluster one is 2 wire?

crap.

[NISTECH]

you guys have the sensors backwards. the 2 wire is the ecu input sensor the single wire is the gauge sensor.

good to hear. nistech saves the day, once again
