Ok i finally got the car back together and running today and i took it out for a test drive and when i pulled back into the driveway it was boiling coolant out of the resivior so i figured it might be the thermostat so i just took it out and went for another drive when i got back same result i aslo notice my fan and temp guage werent working what wire gets hook to the temp sensor in passengers side head and what wire gets hooked into the driverside head thanks for the help

 

alright so i found the wire for the temp guage and got it working what wire do in need to get the fans to come on when the car gets hot

 

if its the same as a 91 305 tbi there is a sensor between cyls 6 and 8 on the head and its a single wire deal, u can test it by grounding the wire should make the fans kick on as long as the car is running, assuming its the same as a 92 or if you have ac and everything is hooked up correctly just turning the ac should kick the fans on regardless of if it works, again im assuming our cars are wired the same, if they rnt some one correct me

 

do you happen to know what the wire color is and what the connector looks like

 

i wanna say green and the connector was one where u had to squeeze it really hard to get the connector off, i actually broke mine and had to replace the wire/connector when i did my switch, just go under neath your car on the pass side and look up. thats the best view and its right between the 6 and 8 spark plugs

 

when you change switches, do you haft to drain the coolant?? or does it not screw in where coolant flows?

 

funny u ask

i thought i could be fast enough and not loose that much coolant....i was wrong. i just ended up making a mess, so to answer your question yes u need to drain some coolant out of the engine, if u keep a pan handy u can just take the switch out and let it drain, when i did it i took the pass front wheel off and the coolant drained straight down so it didnt contaiminate it so i reused the coolant.

 

LOL glad I asked. So with the pass tire off its pretty visible from there?

 

yeah u actualy gotta lay under the car and look straight up toward the engine its right there between the plugs

id imagine if u removed ur air tubes u could actually do most of the work from the top, but i have yet to get rid of that mess.
