Hey,
started my car, drove it yesterday, the temp gauge on the cluster didn't go past blue area/square (cold) I drove it for about 15-25mins, by that time the car should of been completely warmed up, especially since i started the car like 15/20mins before driving it, so it warms up.
Then i get home after the drive, 2 seconds later i see smoke coming from the engine bay, open it up, boiling coolant is spitting through that hold in the coolant reservoir.
Thermostat is new, and i know the gauge is working too.
My guess is the sensor(s) are bad?
Anyways, i want to change the sensor. (i did not change them, they are probably from when the car came out of the factory)
Right now i have 2 sensors there. One is supposedly and engine temp sensor and the other one is coolant temp sensor (according to the realoem at least.)
Now i am a bit confused, the connector that goes onto one sensor (female part) looks like its made for a sensor with 1 pin, currently i have a sensor with two pins there. Do i buy the sensor with one or two pins for it?
Also i dont see the difference between the two sensors, are they the same or are they different?
i tried searching 13621357414 in NAPA and oreillys (and others) they dont have those, but the 12621710512 they do.
Is the 13621357414 needs to be exactly that, or i can just get a 12621710512 with 2 pins?
Thanks
