check engine light problems, fuel temp sensor

dommel01 · Nov 9, 2012

Ok so i got a fuel bowl delete installed and now i have a check engine light going off on fuel temp sensor, theres an unused plug right by the bowl, im assuming that the fuel temp sensor was in the fuel bowl and is no longer there, what do i need to do to get the check engine light off?
Also i have the #3 glow plug circut open but it seems to be plugged in

Put a fuel temp sensor in the distribution block and the engine light will be gone. Push the flow plug harness in more. If that doesn't fix it then it may be broken. They are cheap to replace. Although one glow plug not functioning isn't the end of the world.

I don't have a fuel temp sensor, i have an aeromotive distribution block, is there a place.to put the sensor in it?

Who's fuel bowl delete?

yeah you need a 1/8th"(?) port i believe on the block.

White_monster · Nov 10, 2012

It's a o-ring boss threaded port not 1/8 npt. If the block came from elite it should have the provision for it on the front. For temp you could just plug the sensor in and let it hang.

Its an mpd kit

Oh. Better ask Craig, I don't think he runs a sensor and he just leaves the light on.

Well i got the glow plug fixed and the light went out, but i still have the temp sensor code

I thought the temp sensor was a wrench light ?

Your right but it does log a code.

Just plug the sensor into the harness for now

dommel01 · Nov 10, 2012

yea my wrench light is on!
and what do you mean plug it into the harness?

Plug it in the connector and let hang loose. To take care of the code.
Can you post pics of that set up please.
Thanks.

Plug the fuel temp sensor into the plug in the harness and the code will go away. Pretty simple fix till you can ask Craig for a block with proper provisions for the sensor to thread into.

whats the sensor cost? mines in the fuel bowl at craigs lol

heres a picture of the block

White_monster · Nov 11, 2012

No idea what it costs, I'd guess $40-50 though. Maybe get Craig to send your sensor back to you. Another question is why didn't it get installed in the first place? How do you adjust the pressure with it mounted like that too?
