I just changed the head temp sensor to one from the "DUB shop". The new sensor is a modified GM water temp sensor. It uses the tin screw right next to the intake runner bolts at cyl. #3. It's real easy to install and for MS, its 2 wires. One for the readout and one for ground. If you are using a MS relay board, there are connection points on the board.
What a difference! the engine is running great!
I've had a lot of weird tuning issues, bucking just off idle, during tip in on accel., weird lean surging issues at head temps less than 300*, this solved it. When you watch the stock sensor during normal operations you will see it bounce all over the place( and it was a new sensor). This triggers different fueling because MS thinks it's cold and goes to the WU enrich table, then bounces back and forth.
causing issues with fueling.
Well worth the $45
