Water Temp. Sending Unit Location

mimicons · 05-01-2002, 08:11 AM

Can someone tell me/show me where the sending unit for the water temp guage is? I'm pretty sure I know, but I want to make sure. Thanks in advance!

well it would help if you told us atleast what year car you had

I'm not sure about other years but i know on 87-93, it is on the very front of the drivers side lower intake manifold. It has a wire that just slips over the electrode of the sender. Its probably in the same place on other years too, but I'm not positive about it
