21626, Coolant Temp Sensor for the dfi Posted by JustOne, May-08-02 12:50 PM Do you have to drill a new hole in the thermostat housing? or could you just tap the wires off the existing sensor. | |

21627, RE: Coolant Temp Sensor for the dfi Posted by 992gnt, May-08-02 01:00 PM Yep, you have to D&T the thermostat housing. If you can wait, I should have my car back Friday evening and I'll take a pic of mine. The sensors can't touch each other in the housing, so plan carefully! | |

21629, RE: Coolant Temp Sensor for the dfi Posted by fly1, May-08-02 01:28 PM Actually, I wanted to ask the same question. I'd also like to see a picture of where you have the housing tapped. I'm not sure if this is going to adversely affect the stock temp reading, but right now, I just tapped into the oem water temp sensor. Plus, I don't understand what NPT drilling/tapping is--can anyone explain? Also, how does the water temp has anything to do with the Accel DFI, or is it just a safety feature, since the Accel basically runs off the throttle and MAP. | |
