coolant temp sensor issue

[atxzenki]

Alright guys i have a 1996 240sx with a redtop sr20det. I need to change the coolant temp sensor because it is reading wrong. which one do I get? i tried the one for the 1996 kade but the plug won't work! the 1995 one will plug in, but will it work??

Thanks for any help!!

S13 KA. Match the sender to the engine for the ECU, sender to the chassis for the gauge.

so i need to change the coolant temp sensor to s13 ka and the gauge sensor to s14 ka? is that correct??

Thanks for the help

^^^^^^^ agree

S14 sensor should work. You match the sensor with the gauge cluster you are using. You sure you swapping out the right sensor?!?! There are 2 sensors on top of the water pump housing, swap out the 1 wire sensor with your S14 KA one.

The 2pin temp sensor for the ECU or the 1pin thermal transmitter for the gauge cluster?

alright guys got it sorted out. replaced both sensors, the 2-pin one with an s13 one and the 1-pin one with the s14 ka one

thanks for the help!

I bought a coolant temp sensor for a 92 KA, tried to put it in my blacktop sr but the threading on the sensor isnt the same as the threading I have inside the bank. Its the two pin ecu sensor. Help fast so I can get this done tonight. Also, the connector works but I cant get it to thread into the motor....http://www.autozone.com/autozone/catalog/parts/partsProduct.jsp?itemIdentifier=195753_0_0_&skuDescription=Duralast+/+Coolant+Temperature+Sensor&brandName=Duralast&displayName=Coolant+Temperature+Sensor&categoryNValue=&sortType=&store=1311&isSearchByPartNumber=&fromWhere=&fromString=&counter=0&itemId=113-0&navValue=15900113&filterByKeyWord=&productId=195753&searchText=&categoryDisplayName=Engine+Management&parentId=59-0
