michaelbteam Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I'm getting an engine check light and obd2 reading "engine coolant temp malfunction." The car runs fine and passes inspection, but I want to solve this issue, with any help I can get from this enthusiasic forum. I think I've located the coolant temp sensor buried under wires under the right intake manifold, and it seems I can a socket in there to remove it, but either I don't have the right size or I'm mistaken altogether. Any hints on solving this? What size socket, maybe 21MM? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outbackusjunkus Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Thats where mine was, really tucked in there. It was also a standard metric size (I can't remember which size...was '95 2.2). I had the new one ready to go (with a little thread sealant) to do the quick "switch-aroo" but was still surprised at how much coolent got out.

michaelbteam Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 I found a thread that pictured a mini tear down of everything around the sensor to get at it. However, I just moved the air intake ducts and removed one 12mm. bolt holding a wire "carriage" mount so I could manuever an extension and 19mm. socket to remove the sensor. Not so difficult, but hard to find a way initially. Yes, quite a bit of coolant escaped, now to burp the baby again. Thanks for the response!
