Jasonp-glanza-s Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Hi guysI've been told my n/a glanza s needs a new temp sensor due to the gauge not giving a true reading and the car is over fuelling due to it thinking its cold all the time,I have been told that the uk n/a starlet temp sensor will work, Could any one tell me where the temp sensor is or evan better show me a pic if possibleSorry for such a noob question lol only have my starlet for 4 days ThanksJason Quote
Stu Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 The water temp sensor for the ecu is separate to the water temp sensor for the dash gauge. So, if your sure its over fueling because its cold, its may be that it is actually cold. Check the thermostat is in - if it is there possibly its a low temp one? Quote
Jasonp-glanza-s Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 It smells of fuel really bad when ever i stop at trafic lights mate,And there's black smoke that come's out the exhaust in high rpm.That is how hot its getting after about an hour or so of driving, Quote
Stu Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 That alittle low but not actually too bad but im not used to driving your particular model. You could make sure that the temp sensor is plugged in properly (just check all the plugs on the thermostat housing). Is the oxygen sensor plugged in? The ecu should be trimming fuel if the oxygen sensor is working Quote
Jasonp-glanza-s Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 Is there a diagram about that shows where all the sensors are pal? I have no clue with these engines lol Quote
Stu Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 If you look on the back of the head under distributor you will find it. Make sure everything is plugged in snuggly and not covered in oil Quote
Jasonp-glanza-s Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 Will go check now thanks pal Quote
Jasonp-glanza-s Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 All looks to be fine pal, i will change the thermostat and the temp sensors just to be safe and see if that helps, hopefully it does its using alot of fuel atm Quote
Jasonp-glanza-s Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 Am i right in saying my car is missing a sensor? Quote
Stu Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 That's usually where the radiator fan switch is located. Quote
Jasonp-glanza-s Posted August 12, 2015 Author Posted August 12, 2015 I've been told that glanzas dont have them, just want to know why lol Quote
Ollieh17 Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) glanzas do have them, that may explain why you temp is low. Fan always running Edited August 12, 2015 by Ollieh17 Quote
Stu Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 They definitely have them, the Glanza I just finished working on has it. Quote
Jasonp-glanza-s Posted August 12, 2015 Author Posted August 12, 2015 The fan isnt turning on at all pal :/ i wonder why its missing then, Quote
Stu Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Is there a loose plug laying around somewhere? Quote
Jasonp-glanza-s Posted August 13, 2015 Author Posted August 13, 2015 I've tried looking for it pal its no where to be seen Quote
