[urq] engine coolant temp sensor q

[CARDCONSYS at aol.com]

        Nathan, below is an extract from my list of part numbers that may 
help you. In particular the last one is the coolant sensor below spark plug #1 
that connects to the ECU. It is an NTC(Negative temperature coefficient) device 
so its resistance DECREASES with increasing temperature. When you measure the 
sensor resistance to chassis ground make sure you remove the connection wire 
to the ECU. According to the Bentley book the resistance should be about 2.5K 
cold dropping to 600 ohms when the engine is warm.The dual sensor, which should 
be at the rear of the head, is for the 'idiot' lights only.
