Thread: Temperature sender location

Scott or whatever his name is not correct. I've pulled to many of these engines that its not funny and the sender for the gauge is on the rear head its like that the l36 L67 and the 60v6 engine. So untill i see a picture of the cts sensor and the temp sensor i am going by what i know what what i've seen

i'm going to have to side with everyone else in this thread, my friend. the factory service manul info does NOT indicate a second temp sensor specifically for the gauge... in the 3800 series. now, in the 3.4 motor that you so unabashedly adore.. yes there is a sparate sensor. so yes, please post a picture of what you are reffering to.

You're comparing apples to oranges. The only thing a 60*v6 has in common with the 90* is the number of cylinders. The sensors aren't in the same place, they don't even share the same type of sensors. There's only ONE sensor on the back of the engine, and that's the rear knock sensor. Now take your bad advice, get your Chilton's manual and go study some more. You'd have this poor bastard checking the gas tank if it were up to you.
