Coolant Sensor

The sensor is located on the thermostat housing and supplies a signal to the computer when engine coolant temperature reaches a predetermined temperature.

This information is required to prevent air/fuel ratio from changing until engine reaches normal operating temperature. The computer also controls the amount of spark advance with a cold engine. See Fig 1 .
