dunefreak Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I need a new temperature sensor for my Intellidash. It uses a separate sensor than the one for the ECM. The wires got pulled out of mine and it looks like any similar resistance sensor might work as long as it's 1/8" NPT thread size. Any clue what might work? I guess I could just contact Intellidash, but it seems like a simple single wire ECT sensor would work. Quote
CampIdiot Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Pete you can run a stock LS sensor or a Autometer one you just have to change the setting in the intellidash. Quote
dunefreak Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 Right on. Thanks Brian. Except the stock LS sensor is a weird course thread size. I'll look into the Autometer one. Quote
CampIdiot Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I have the install manual if you need the setting. Quote
dunefreak Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 You da man. I got an Autometer sensor today that looks like it will work. I'll let ya know how it goes. Thanks bud Quote
NE14SAND Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 1 thing to check. when you plug a scan tool into pc temp runs about 30deg higher than what intelli says. thats mine so check yours Pete so you know what your temp actually is, just a heads up Quote

My Busa car wasn't off like that. I'll check ot though with a raytek. Quote
NE14SAND Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 my daSH AND THE CODE READER are about 30deg diff is all i know man? sorry 4 the capps lol Quote
dunefreak Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 I have the install manual if you need the setting. So yeah. I got the Autometer sensor installed and it seems like it needs to be adjusted. I'm idling at like 250 degrees once it warms up. yikes haha Got the procedure to calibrate it? Quote
dunefreak Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 Never mind. Turns out I have the Intellidash owners manual with all my paperwork from the buggy when I bought it! yiah I got it reprogrammed to what I think is right. There are settings for 0-250, 0-260, 0-350 and 0-400. I'll check it with a Raytek gun tomorrow night. I think I got it though because the fans kick on right when the temp gauge reads about 228-230.

CampIdiot Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Aaron the reason yours is off is probably where your gauge sensor is located. Gm put there sensor where it is the hottest.Also you might want to look at your gauge setting in the intellidash. Quote
