thanks but can you show me what you are talking about..autozone does not exist.

 

in canada

 

My bad brother, here you go.

thanks...but i dont need any temp signal of the stock sensor pluged to the 4,7 harness right?

and what up up i swap to a 180degree thermostat???

 

Ok... anyone know what kinda of signal the stock sensor sends? Does the SPAL use a varying voltage from the sensor? I was kind of hoping the stock sensor would be an on/off type and I could hook a relay, BUT, I guess I could piggyback it and just have some sort of trigger to activate at the temp I want.
Does anyone know what readings it gives ya?

 

If you sent them a message on ebay they can put together just about anything for you cheap. You can use the stock temp sensor or use one of their aftermarket sensors.

 

Yes Spal uses a varying voltage.



DESCRIPTION
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is used to sense engine coolant temperature. The sensor protrudes
into an engine water jacket.
The ECT sensor is a two-wire Negative Thermal Coefficient (NTC) sensor. Meaning, as engine coolant temperature
increases, resistance (voltage) in the sensor decreases. As temperature decreases, resistance (voltage) in the sensor
increases.
OPERATION
At key-on, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) sends out a regulated 5 volt signal to the ECT sensor. The PCM
then monitors the signal as it passes through the ECT sensor to the sensor ground (sensor return).

 

Thanks for the settings, Blown...
Thanks to everyone else as well, I am enjoying this post so far
