Coolant And Charge Temperature Sensors
Note:
The charge temperature sensor and coolant sensor are not interchangeable, however, due to similarities in appearance, connector type and
thread, it is possible to install one in place of the other.
Note:
Interchanging these sensors can cause; rough running, lack of power, an extremely rich air/fuel ratio, or a no start condition, (plugs will be fuel
fouled).
