Just gone to change the coolant temp sensor, and mine is completely different to what it should be for the other GT's and Glanzas.

Does anyone know where I can get one like below, or a part number if i have to use toyota.

New sensor on the left, plug for the sensor I need on the right

thing with camskill some items on there site says fit ep91 but they dont knw it all so fits ep82. looks like they have changed it for the 98 spec, I know the water pump is different for the 98 spec zswell
Best thing to do is ring them tomoro and ask them then get them to send the right one out

There are 2 coolant temperature sensors on the thermostat housing.

One for the ECU, thats the 2 pin type and one for the temperature guage, thats the single pin type.

The green sensor you can see in the pics is the one i posted up before by the way, its a single wire one.
Any help?

I am not that familiar with Glanzas mate, but on a GT that green one is where the rad fan switch is usually fitted, and that 3 wire one you have is the ecu coolant temp sensor, but on a GT its 2 wire.

The GT also has a 3rd sensor on there for the temperature guage, this has really thrown me now so I dont think I have gave you accurate advice before, sorry about that.

Usually if the engine is running and you remove the plug from the green sennsor the fan will come on, you could test this to confirm thats what it does.

That other sensor is the reverse light switch, forget about that one.
