    Hi,Ive replaced the 3 coolant sensors on the bulk head and only got coolant coming from 2 of them does that mean there is a blockage?

    Thanks

    that is correct, 2 of the holes are cut into a coolant channel, and one is not :)

    The one that’s not cut out to the coolant does that sensor go to the ecu?

    I believe the blind hole is for the isv controller sensor, other 2 are ecu and clocks? probably doesnt really make a great deal of difference

    Both styles will work either way, just for the button style you got to pop the spade out of the plastic housing
