Water temperature sensor question!

SilenceboneSupra · 11-29-2008, 08:27 PM

Hi

Idk if this is the good place to ask but here it goes anyways.

I wanted to replace the water temperature sensor and when unscrewed the old one i noticed that it was longer and thinner then the new one....

Here are some random pictures of some sensors!!

now would the thickness or length make any difference?
the new sensor is for the supra. now i did not change it yet. i dnt know why the new one is shorter nd thicker.. but just want to know before i change it.....

It may be from a diffrent wiring harness, pre 89 or 89+. Check the plug to make sure its the same, other than that it may just be a new design on a old plug.

Good luck.

its the same plug. just sensors different. but its for the n/a supra.
i asked this on another forums and they been talking about the thinner might get a better reading. but il just go with it and see what happens..

I would like to adjust the temp setting on my factory electric fan so it will come on at a lower temp. How do I do this? I would like for it to come on around 170 degrees. Is there a way to adjust this setting in the ECU? Please contact me at brian_lindsey1997@yahoo.com
