I have a bad head temperature sensor on my 1974 1.8 914. I called Pelican Parts and they say they are not available. My car is just dumping fuel and I cant drive it until I get a new one.
Where can I find them? Thanks Dwayne |

Not to say that you don't need a CHT sensor but how did you determine you need one?
The CHT is not a common failure point and I dont think I have ever seen one thta failed such that the engine was being flooded with fuel. I would be more suspicious of the Air Flow Meter than the CHT sensor. They are known for sticking and binding. Jim |

I had another one sitting around that gave a better reading and put it in. it runs now. I want to put a brand-new unit in to get even better reading. |
