From memory is similar to nearly every other sensor having a 5volt reference, The voltage out when cold should be considerably low as the resistance of the sensor is most when cold, you should be able to log cht voltage, should steadily increase to 4.5-to near on 5volts at about 87ish degrees.

It spins inside the outer. I can't see or feel anything else. When I datalog the coolant temp just drops out to zero sometimes. Sometimes under braking. Sometimes full throttle. Can drop out for 3-5 seconds most times. Seen as long as 10 sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fml!!Just make one mate, buy a cheap one from supercheap put a bit of heat on it and bend it up then keep in your box for next time. If you dont have an oxy just get a bitter hammer and throw it in the vice and make it your bitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
