coolant temp sensor drain plug

Re: coolant temp sensor drain plug (deerok)

Is your temp gauge not working? Most of the times its just the tstat especially at your mileage. Took me 10mins to replace without draining the coolant (got a little wet).

For oil you will need a 12mm (for the splash guard) and 18mm for the drain plug.

thanks Nick...yea i dont know if you read that other post i had..but when i turn the car on first thing in the morning instead of it idling around 1500 rpms then slowly dropping down after a few moments... it just drops down right from jump and idles rough also i think its running a little rich.. by what i've read in doing some research and lucky i think one time suggested i take a look at was the coolant temp sensor... my temp guage seems to be fine but i'm gonna change the thermostat also as preventive maintance..

Cool... if i were you i would invest in a decent socket set. I just carry mine in the trunk and whenever i need it's there.

well gotta say the changing of the thermostat , ECT and coolant was a major success that did not cure the idling problem ..lol cleaning the MAF next ..
