Hello.
Toy car skoda felicia 1.3 MPI 1998 from lpg 2nd generation.
I have a problem with the temperature sensor in the thermostat and the sensor in the radiator, it is a fan switch.
I have long suspected that the sensor in the radiator (two-pin) around the air filter is working incorrectly.
The car was behaving strangely. At lpg it had no power, it was not trading.
Choked. It was a bit better on gasoline.
When the engine is warm, the fan on the radiator switches on.
The DeltaSCan diagnostic program then shows the temperature of one hundred or several degrees.
This is the moment of starting the fan.
I did a small test.
I unplugged the plug from this sensor (in the radiator) and bridged the wires.
Symptom:
- when the ignition is off without the key in the ignition the fan turns on the radiator,
- also on when the ignition is on.
1) Does this clearly indicate damage to the sensor (in the radiator) or its malfunction?
2) After unplugging the temperature sensor from the thermostat the car works very well.
Quite differently, it works more frankly.
Despite unplugging, the fan turns on as the temperature rises.
Can you drive without this sensor plugged in until replacement?
Can you check it by bridging the wires like this one on
cooler?
3) I encountered temperature sensors with a yellow and blue stripe.
What does this color mean?
4) Does the temperature sensor affect the correct engine operation so much?
Why working on gas is worse with a damaged temperature sensor, and on
gasoline better?
Best regards.
