Re: therm switch?
Barry asked:
>Where is the therm switch, injector cooling fan, 86 5000CSQ? Thanks.
Its screwed in the triangular metal shroud, right above the 5th port of the
exhaust mfld, next to the wastegate. It' a small brass thing with 1 wire
coming out of it.
If the fan fails to come on after you park your car after a long Banzai run
and the exh. mfld is so hot it emits the LOUD cracking noises, you might
have a switch failure ( I had it once). Here's how to tell which part is at
fault:
Turn the engine off, pull the wire off the sensor and momentarily ground the
wire. If the injector fan comes on - your sensor is screwd up. If the fan
does not come on - then its the wiring or the fan itself.
BTW, the sensor has a closing T-re° stamped on it. You can always take it
out of the car, hook an ohm meter to it and heat it up. It should close upon
reaching the appropriate T-re°.
Good luck
