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 |

I'm of no help as I don't know LJet but I wouldn't freak out about CHT senders. Buy one of Marks thermistors. There dead nuts on or but a variable resistor from Radio Shack for < $7 and dial in the value you need with an ohm meter or turn it until you get the idle you want.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I am using one that McMark made for me to test a couple of years ago for my car which is inducted with the stock D-jet. It uses a modern thermistor that he made to test with a dedicated ground. It is running flawlessly. I think the dedicated ground helps. I think after a few years from the heat cycling the stock CHT ground uses the body of the CHT. Over time it builds up oxidation causing resistance. My theory FWIW. I'm not the EE that Stu is......I know enough of that shite to get myself into it and then ask for help. |
