Drain off about 2 qts of coolant from radiator petcock after engine has cooled. Unplug wire harness from sensor. Remove sensor with a counterclockwise motion. Coat new sensor with a thread sealant and install until snug. Reconnect harness and refill coolant reservoir. Recheck coolant level after useage.
The 1992 Ford F2 50 pickup truck 5.8 liter engine coolant temperature sensor can be found on the top of the engine. The coolant temperature sensor will be near the intake manifold.
on the hrottle body
on the thermostat housing
Ignition - Coolant Temperature Sensor
The coolant sensor is also the temperature sensor, it can be found on the head under the distributor for 1.5 liter Civic motors prior to 1992.
On a 1993 buick regal it is on the side of the radiator.
The coolant temperature sensor, which is located behind the engine block near the firewall, senses when the coolant temperature reaches a predetermined temperature so that the transmission can shift into overdrive. This sensor and the hose preceding it can get gunked up with cystallization from the coolant (red Toyota coolant is notorious for doing this) and can prevent proper flow to the sensor i.e. your transmission may take longer to shift into overdrive or may not shift at all depending on how constricted the hose is.
The Air Temperature sensor is in the same unit as the Air Flow Meter on top of the stock air box. The coolant temp sensor is mounted on the coolant outlet on the back of the engine, center, just above the transmission.
Yes, a faulty coolant temp sensor can do that.
On the intake manifold near the thermostat housing. It will be two wires a yellow and one black wire.
Try the oxygen sensor and the coolant temperature sensor.
Either the coolant reservoir is low on coolant or the coolant level sensor is NG.
