1994 164 QV 24V

Re: 164 TS hesitating during acceleration

Back to the subject at hand, the finger of blame is now pointing to the Engine Coolant Temperature sensor. However, trying to get me Alfa main dealer's parts department to send me the right one is proving more difficult than it should be.

To be fair to them, the Alfa parts CD shows numerous sensors, some listed as both for coolant temp and oil pressure. It simply refers to them all as 'senders', without giving any idea as to what their specific function is.

The most likely culprit so far is the one to the rear of the engine, at the flywheel end. It is quite a bit bigger than the others and has a yellow plastic shroud over the spade terminal. Does anyone know if this is the right one?
