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 |

connect the sensor wire to the input of a switch with the output of the switch hooked to GND.
Warm up the motor with the switch open, and when it is warm, flip the switch closed. As the CHT warms up it's resistance approaches zero ohms (a 'short' to GND). The switch can simulate this. If someone knows the exact resistance of the CHT when warm/hot, you can put a fixed resistor of that value on the output of the switch. Not a permanent solution, but it would get you driving again. |
