Re: Bouncing Rev Counter
Thats the coolant temperature sender, it controls the reading of the gauge in the dash.

Re: Bouncing Rev Counter
Just about to replace it now. I'm going out to go get a deeper 19mm socket. I tried the crow's feet spanner that I used for the PCV value but there wasn't enough room for movement. So just for the record a deep 19mm socket will do the trick.

Re: Bouncing Rev Counter
Sorry to keep asking so many questions. Why did this sensor fail? My svx has only 155,xxx kms.
I appreciate all your help on this matter mate |

Its not really a matter of mileage..... more of an age issue. Most thermistors tend to fail after some length of time or # of cycles, it just happens. |

Did replacing the temp sensor fix your bouncy idle at startup?

Re: Bouncing Rev Counter
Bump...
I would like to know if it fixed it as well, mine does the bouncy idle every once in a while. I will check my codes tomorrow for the temp sensor. but I KNOW that I have o2 sensor code.
