Default Temperature Sensor

Any ill effects of it not working for a day or two? The sensor broke somehow during my clutch swap, only thing I can think of is the speed bleed line hit it on the way up. Other than that, it wasn't even in the area of other tools or what not.

My logic is that the thermostat is independent and will function as normal, and the fans will stay on constantly since it thinks something is wrong.

So, ok to drive for 2 days?

yea its running pig rich, but idles ok, and aside from that, runs pretty good. My idle is programmed to run pig rich anyway, and I am trying to get used to the new clutch, tick master, and the chatter, so its going over my head anyway.

Ill probably just go ahead and replace it now, I found out it is only $12, I was thinking $40+

Do it quick..alot of Coolant will come dribbling out of that hole if you don't do it fast enough.

I didn't use Teflon Tape..just use the Copper Washer. It will just run out, gravity.
