Hello everyone, so I have a 98gt that I 4v swapped a few months ago. I used low mileage motor out of a 97 Lincoln Mark Viii but I kept my GT wiring harness, changed injectors and called it a day. It was my first motor swap and I did it in the front yard so the fact that the car hasn't blown up yet is impressive. Anyways, one of the things that got left out during the swap was my temp sensor that controls the gauge. Which now that I am overheating (due to fan not kicking on, the car will idle fine for about 20 minutes before it overheats and fan never comes on) obviously makes things worse because I don't know until it's too late. My fuses are good and I think the fan is fine. Chances are CCRM, I did not put a thermostat in when I did the swap. This car is about to get dedicated to the track so to make things easy I am going to just wire in a manual fan switch this weekend which leaves this question...
Where is the sensor that controls the temp gauge located on the motor? From what I find online there is two sensors on each side of the coolant crossover. One is the coolant temp sensor on passenger side which I see no problem. The other is on driver side supposedly and controls gauge. A picture of the location itself would be amazing!!!
Also is the pic attached the sensor that controls that gauge? I know I will need to extend out the wires like I did for some of the other connecting wires but right now it's just floating around in the engine bay. Like I said I'm an enthusiast who is gaining more knowledge every day. I've only been working on cars for a couple years so bear with me here. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
