sensors question

[duhtroll]

Just out of curiosity, how many temp. sensors do we have in the engine bay?

[RF Overlord]

Intake air temp, cylinder head temp, and 2 coolant temps.

I've never seen a CHT sensor on a Marauder.

What about the Outside Air Temperature sensor behind the grille that feeds the display on the EATC, Does that count?

The marauder don't have one.

I may be wrong on the CHT...I do know the 2V motors have one.

I did not know that mod motors had these, interesting.

What are they monitoring, coolant temp within the head, or the actual head temp?

[RF Overlord]

Actual head temp

[SC Cheesehead]

Actual head temp


Interesting. Only reads one head, or both? Also, where's the sensor located? Just wondering how it would pic up potential variances (i.e. hot spots) among cylinders.

[RF Overlord]

I don't think it picks up hot spots...the 2V heads aren't prone to that like the 4V; it's used for the fail-safe cooling feature.

Gotcha.

Makes sense.
