FUEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Discussion
Hello again!
In an earlier thread regarding the cold start behaviour of my car, one question raised was about the fuel temperature sensor.
It is definitely fitted and connected on my car but does it do anything? On page 87 of the Steve Heath book it says that they are commonly unused and indeed there is an "unused" one for sale on ebay that was removed from a Chimaera!
Is there a definitive answer to this one and if it is not used in our application what was it supposed to do? The cold running must surely be influenced by this?
Regards Chris.

Thanks for the info.
I think I will need to get the car plugged in and see if there are any fault codes present.
A little research suggests LUCAS SNB803 to be the correct sensor. On ebay they are over £130! surely this can't be right? It looks the same as the CTS but without the probe on it.
Would a dud sensor affect the cold running of the engine or is that a silly question? Sorry!
The mystery deepens.
