Glanza-Ben Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I've just swapped the new engine from 1 Glanza into another Glanza and all is well apart from two plugs on thermostat housing which ain't there on my old one which had one plug any one had this before Quote
daniel_g Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Was it a GT engine in the Glanza ? I know there are a few different housings used on starlets. I had this when putting a 98 spec engine in a GT. Just swap the full thermostat housing over. Quote

dangeestarlet Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I had the same issue , I used the sensors from my n/a engine Quote
argylefan1985 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 If you need the housing from the one I got I'll change it over with ya if it helps Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 If you need the housing from the one I got I'll change it over with ya if it helps Yes legend and I will give you a free parts for doin that Quote
daniel_g Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Are 96 and 98 spec housings different ? I know the looms are. Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 Are 96 and 98 spec housings different ? I know the looms are.Not sure both my cars are 96 spec Quote
_shaun_ Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 The 96 and 98 spec Are different I no the water tempt sensors on the thermo housing are different but not see what else on the engine side Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 The 96 and 98 spec Are different I no the water tempt sensors on the thermo housing are different but not see what else on the engine sideIt's only the thermostat housing that's giving me the trouble Quote
_shaun_ Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 From memory the later 98 spec has an oval plug which costs a fortune and the 96 didn't. If you have a look on camskills am sure they list both new with pictures and you can see if its the 98 spec one your have Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 There's two plugs the I don't have on thermostat housing my loom has a oval ish shape but the housing has a different shape and a spade connector sensor Quote
Ryan-11 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Is the oval ish shape plug green? Im sure the coolant temp sensors are different are they not? Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 Is the oval ish shape plug green? Im sure the coolant temp sensors are different are they not?No the green one is plugged in its just this one plug left on my loom but as said the new engine has a different shape sensor and another sensor like a spade connector next to it Quote
dangeestarlet Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 The spade connector is the temp for the in car temp gauge, you should have one on your loom and on the housing Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 Does anyone know if I can just cut the sensor off the loom and put it in place of my sensor Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 Yes you canSweet will do that later as wanna fire it back up after months of no engine Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 Can't wire it it as old loom has 3 wire new loom has 2 wires so goin to original plan and getting my thermostat housing back Quote
Socks Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 The looms also pass through the firewall differently... Facelift ep91 - Goes thru top right hand side... Pre-Facelift ep91 - Go through under inlet AND top right hand side... Fusebox's are also different... The Looms are very different! Quote
