This is my first post to this Website.
I am building a factory five roadster using a 1996 mustang GT donor, 4.6 SOHC engine. I took my rolling chassis for it's first drive around the block this past weekend. That was a thrill.
Unfortunately, there are bugs to be worked out.
The radiator fan did not turn on. My Chilton manual at p.3-8 says that there are two coolant temperature sensors screwed into the plastic intake manifold. the sensor on the passenger side is the temp sending unit to the gauge; the sensor on the driver side is the sensor to the computer. My problem is there is only one hole for a sensor on my manifold, the one on the passenger side. there is a something that looks like an after market sensor screwed into the top of thermostat housing, but the previous owner clipped the one wire that is attached to that sensor. Does anyone know if the manifold I have is a stock mustang manifold, or does it come from some other ford car. Does the single sensor (passenger side) serve both the temperature gauge in the dash and the computer. Any imput will be appreciated.
thanks
