      Description

      Performance. The Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor plays a crucial role in optimizing engine performance by providing real-time data on coolant temperature to the ECM. With this information, the engine's electronic systems can efficiently adjust the air-fuel mixture and ignition timing, ensuring that the engine operates at the ideal temperature for maximum power output and fuel efficiency.

      Efficient. Precise control of the air-fuel mixture based on accurate coolant temperature readings allows the engine to run at the most efficient stoichiometric ratio. As a result, the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor aids in reducing fuel consumption and promoting better mileage, which translates to cost savings for vehicle owners and reduced environmental impact due to lower fuel consumption and emissions.

      Control. The Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor significantly influences the engine's emissions control strategy. By providing the ECM with vital temperature data, the sensor helps the engine maintain the optimum operating temperature for efficient emissions reduction through the catalytic converter and other emission control devices. This contributes to compliance with environmental regulations and ensures the vehicle operates within acceptable emission standards.

      Reliable. The sensor serves as an early warning system for potential engine issues or cooling system malfunctions. Sudden or drastic fluctuations in coolant temperature readings can indicate problems like coolant leaks, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a failing water pump. Prompt detection of such issues allows vehicle owners to address them before they escalate into more severe engine problems, avoiding costly repairs and potential breakdowns.

      Design. During cold starts, the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor aids in the vehicle's ability to deliver an appropriate fuel mixture to facilitate smooth engine ignition and warm-up. By accurately measuring the coolant temperature, the sensor helps the ECM deliver the right amount of fuel required for cold start conditions, preventing issues like rough idling or excessive exhaust smoke during initial engine operation.

      Protection. Maintaining the engine at the correct operating temperature is crucial for its longevity and performance. The Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor ensures that the engine doesn't overheat, which could cause severe engine damage. It also prevents the engine from running too cold, which can result in incomplete combustion and increased engine wear. By facilitating optimal temperature regulation, the sensor contributes to the engine's protection and longevity.

      Installation. Putting this Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor on your Jeep CJ7; CJ5 is easy and requires no drilling.

      Application. The Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor fits 1976-1986 Jeep CJ7 models; 1973-1983 CJ5 models.
