Temp sesnor for the ECU?

[GRUNT 16V]

Air Intake Temp !!

[xxspudxx]

thats what i thought but told the bloke at vauxhall and he was being abit dumb, and local motorfactor didnt list it, will keep on looking . Thanks

[xxspudxx]

anyone know where can buy this sensor from?

[16v Nova Kev]

best bet is a main dealer i would have thought

[tom_bish]

I take it this sensor is needed? The e16se i've just put into my nova dosn't appear to have one. would this explain why its idling funny

air intake temp switch fella:thumb:

[gazjoiner]

got one here

[burgo]

the haynes manual has got it down as "switch - engine (housing). what that mean i dont know but its connected to the oil temperature

[burgo]

oh and by the way. the air temp sensor is within the air flow meter!!!! noobs

[gazjoiner]

the haynes manual has got it down as "switch - engine (housing). what that mean i dont know but its connected to the oil temperature correct:thumb: its wired in series to the oil temp switch somthing to do with tempteture below 17 c. its switched on! anything over that it switches off:wtf: if it runs/idels fine warm without it that may be why it's running on the rough side?:p

[gazjoiner]

oh and by the way. the air temp sensor is within the air flow meter!!!! noobs ist not a sensor its a switch you nooblol

[burgo]

who says i was aiming that at you??? being as i said air temp sensor kinda surgests i was aiming it at the people who said it was the air temp sensor!!!!

world doesnt revolve around you ;)

[gazjoiner]

calm down fella:thumb: was said in jest! thats all :cool: just trying to help. like you were mate!:D

[burgo]

:confused: you have a weird sence of humour

[meritlover]

i dont like this, iam scared :(

[gazjoiner]

lol
:confused: you have a weird sence of humour so now you no!! yes i can see who you were getting at now! :confused: sorry:tard:

[gazjoiner]

dont be pussy meritlover lol

[Sloth]

i like pussy.its the fast idle warm up switch. it tells the ecu to add more fuel when its cold. it measures the temp of the oil or water, i cant remember which.

[gazjoiner]

^yes the ecu measures oil tempreture! 17 c or lower the air intake temp switch should be on! when cold. also the ecu on the bosch efi moniters air flow, water temp, pane in fook'n ass tbh lol

it must be the water temp its looking at, as that block full of coolant. if your saying the wire is the same as the oil temp switch then if theyre wired in series then whatever sensor opens first will tell the ECU its happy enough with the temp and cut the cold start enrichment.

as meritlover said it must monitor coolent temp as the thing its screwed into is full of water, not oil!!

[gazjoiner]

ok burgo point taken! well **** me you know yer **** hey?

[gazjoiner]

lol

[gazjoiner]

go read your haynes again gay breath

[meritlover]

go read your haynes again gay breath:confused:

[gazjoiner]

:cry: i,m sorry

[meritlover]

please stop scaring the Burgo :(

[gazjoiner]

scare that lump lol

[xxspudxx]

not coolant temp as the coolant temp sensor is in the head just under dizzy? Blue cap
