Re: whats this sensors name?

Whats the difference between your temp sensor (driver side of block) and coolant sensor (front of manifold)?

P.S. Let me know all locations of sensors....I am replacing all of mine and only know of Coolant sensor ( Front Of Manifold ), Temp sensor ( Drive Side Of Block ), Knock sensor ( Passenger Side Of Block ), O2 sensor ( Exhaust ).

The driver side head has the coolant temperature gauge sender. The passenger side head has the auxiliary fan switch. The manifold has the coolant temperature sensor for the ECM.

It's in the head. If you have a single electric fan, you might not have one.

You can't see it and it's even harder to reach if it needs to be replaced.
