There are two coolant sensors. One for the ECM and one for the gauge or light. The one for the ECM is located on the intake manifold near where the thermostat housing is. It'll be located on the back side of this and a little low. It can be hard to see because of the air intake hose. The one for the switch is located straight back from that one on the rear corner of the block. I think it is a blue or green wire running to it. It will be a single wire unit while the one for the ECM will have two wires....yellow and brown.
could be several things. 1st is the car actually overheating. If so then it could be a stuck thermostat or a bad water pump. If it is not really overheating my bet would be a falty temp sensor. The temp sensor is what actually tells the light to turn on.
Where is the temp sensor on a 91 Chevy astro
temp light is on a 1991 Chevy lumina car not hot...
No.
Remove the tail gate then replace water temperature sensor.
located coolant temp sensor
could be a bad TPS throttle position sensor OR a bad IAT idle air control temp sensor.
The 95 Lumina with a 3.1 engine does not have a temperature sending unit. Instead, the dash temp gauge is controlled by the engine coolant temp sensor. This sensor is located on the driver's side, top of the engine.
THE temp sending unit 4 the inside gauge usally has 1 wire & the sending unit 4 the Computer has 2 wires.
Didn't have an air temp sensor in 92. Came out in 93.
The sensor for the water temp. in the dash will be screwed into the drivers side head between the first 2 spark plugs up front. Now if you are looking for the coolant temp sensor Then that will be screwed into the top front of the intake manifold just to the left of the thermostat housing.
The coolant temp sensor on a 2003 Chevy S10 V6 is located on the front of the intake manifold. To replace simply unscrew the old sensor and screw on the new one.
