How To Install a Coolant Temperature Sensor The Right Way

- Use Permatex High Temperature thread sealer on the threads. Make sure you do not over tighten the brass sensor or adapter. You will twist it off and need to extract it.
I was told that sealant keeps it from grounding in the mechanical ones
Wow, thank you for showing people how to install a threaded bolt. UA-cam is the best. I'll never get those 2 minutes of my life back
You clicked it. You watched it for 2 mins. No need to be snarky. I know you are dreaming about it tonight
with lube...
@@Archifx😂😂
With that plug can you run a radiator fan and coolant gauge? what wires to which device? I have an older 350 with only a single port on the intake manifold.
does it matter which wire is connects onto the sensor ? for a 2 pin sensor does polarity matter ?
You don’t have to worry about it going in real tight then? Also mine came with a high temp lube, do I have to wait for that to dry before driving?
with this adapter the reading will be wrong... as not all the sender is in the water enough... you have to have it lower in the water... you need a bigger base on the sender... I did this,, and my gauge reads too high
Will red rtv high temp silicone sealant instant gasket be ok ?
PLEASE can I get the adapter info? I’ve a new Holley sniper and have the same intake but can’t find that adapter anywhere !!
You have to use Tape on NPT fuel pump fittings in older trucks with mechanical fuel pumps. The NPT fittings will leak if you don't. That's why they changed the fittings to NPTF fittings because tape wears down and gets inside your fuel pump) engine etc ..use PTFE tape if you have NPT fittings. Don't if it's NPTF.....the threads are made to bind and seal on NPTF fittings.
Can both be used at the same time
Why do you use thread sealant? Most videos would be great if people explained the "whys and wherefores" of doing something. And the reason WHY you put sealant is because....
Think about it for a second... so it doesn’t leak
Learn to think on your feet
Do you have to let it dry before running the engine
Thank you for this video. My family is going through a financial transition right now and the truck needed to have the coolant sensor switched. It didn’t drive all the way down. And this answered my question. Unfortunately I broke the sensor off so I have to take manifold off now. Praying we have it done in time. Thank you again I will be watching your extraction video
my brother tape is excellent to use i been using it for years never had a problem...matter-of-fact its better....
My friend what kind of tape do you use or suggest?
Whats the info on the adaptor?
question , so is this coolant temp sensor supposed to touch the coolant? Or does that matter? Thanks for the video, bought some sealant :)
Hey everyone I'm looking for a little help trying to restore my wife's 68 Camaro finally got most everything working again and running , one problem I'm having is as soon as I turn the key the temp light on dash comes on and stays on. Car is not overheating and runs great. Now you would think the temp sensor but for the life of me I cannot find the temp sensor there is nothing on the block or on top of the coolant thermostat housing. Any ideas ? It should be located driver side between the block or head and the master break cylinder. Please help
I know this is a little late but I have seen temperature sensors mounted in the radiator, Check both tanks on either side of the radiator!
@@NeverEnoughPyro40 thanks
thanks for the video, do you know if i have to drain coolant before doing this?
No wonder I've had a leak from there. Good video
It's a thread locker not a thread seal.
Adapter info? I installed a new stand up radiator on a f body and I need a adapter for my sensor.
where i find this adapter?
Thanks for this tip! Watched another video where the guy used tape, so that's what I did and the temp gauge keeps going up even though the van's not running. Gonna try this and see if it fixes that!
Hi sir..if i want to change next time,will it damage engine thread?and how long to wait this to dry
I would like to know the adapter you used and size of the adapter and sensor
What size adapter is that?
Do you know the adapter size ?.. because I have a 93 cobra lower intake but my harness is a 87 gt... So I would need an adapter
I'm replacing one on a 2011 charger v6 this sealant should help
question . if u tight sensor in toooo much will that hurt it ? and i did i short my ecu out u think ? cause i didnt unplug battery . i cant get sensor to work . i thought maybe prongs were dirty they were lil wet from alil coolant mishap i had lil spill on it i think .
Thanks for the vid I have a question though
No way mine will go in so easy and all the shit in the way🤕
Great video good points very detailed
Also don't use aftermarket part. It will leak.
Should u use thread lock on a plastic intake manifold??
I can’t get the ECT sensor to start on the threads
What adapter is that? Can you give me a part number
Thank you.
Probably want to get a sensor with a longer pecker on it when you use that adapter...
Why, If you fill your cooling system and bleed it properly there won’t be any air whatsoever! This absolutely works!
What size it the adapter????
Where do I find that adapter ?
I tighten mine pretty tight should I loosen it some of just let it be thanks
same i tightnt mine tight but keep readin not to . is tht cause they brrak amd strip easy ooor will it effect somethin ?
And get ready to break off the sensor (it's hollow) when trying to remove it if you use this sealant. (I used it, and taking it out, snapped it right off at the base) .
Good thing I have a video on here with 2.7million views on how to remove a snapped off brass sensor from an engine. Lol. Might be able to make another vid.
@@Archifx yeah im afraid of that happening
Thanks I needed this
My mechanic used teflon tape on an oil sensor for my 2007 MDX. Should he have used high temp thread sealers instead? Should the sensor be reinstalled?
They both do the same job, It’s just a matter of preference of the installer! I would not worry or change it unless you have a leak! I personally used Teflon tape on my sending units when I installed them in my 1993 cobra back in 1995! Here we are in 2000 and20 and they have never leaked! If installed correctly you should have no worries!
a real mechanig never wheres gloves
He does if he’s getting laid.
