Aftermarket Coolant Temperature Sensor - Where To Install?

Max777 · 08-13-2008, 10:24 PM

I was wondering this exactly the other day... I want to install a oil press. and coolant temp gauges, and was thinking to just put them in stock locations...

but then, doesn't the ECU use those signals to monitor the engine? Also, if you get a wideband, do you put it into the stock location and disconnect the stock one? Doesnt the ECU also use this sensor?

So yeah, exactly what ARE we supposed to do? I've been a little confused with all the info out there.

PS: sry for hijacking the thread btw.
