Volvo Repair: 1987 Volvo 240 DL, coolant temperature sensor, volvo 240 dl


Question
QUESTION: Hi, I recently bought a Performance Module for the car and the instructions are very vague. It says I have to install the Module onto the CTS or ATS. I have been looking around the net for help but i just can't find anything. If you can help me find it that would be fantastic! Thanks

ANSWER: Nick, What are you trying to accomplish?  More power out of a Stock B230F?  Not going to happen.  Roger

How am I supposed to answer something that you never responded back  to me about?  If you would just answer my question, I would be able to help you out, but since you had no patience or cared to explain what you were trying to do, then forget it.  Have a nice day.  Roger

QUESTION: All i wanted to know is if you know where the CTS or ATS is located but apparently you have no clue. Thanks for nothing.

ANSWER: Nick, All Im trying to do is help you and unfortunately you do not want to give me the information on what you are trying to accomplish. The vague instructions you recieved are just that.  Vague.  Performance modules are usually installed on the the c-prom connection inside the ECU.  There are some that are direct wired.  As far as the CTS or ATS you are right, I have no idea what that is.  Good luck with your project.  RP

QUESTION: Ok. Well I just need the find out where the Coolant Temperature Sensor is or the Air Temperature Sensor is. If you possibly have any idea of how it looks or where i can find it that would be great.

Answer
Nick, Now we are getting somewhere.  There are 2 one is for the temp gauge.  Thats the single pronged sensor on the head under the intake manifold.  The ECT sensor is the sensor under the intake manifold just above the black Flame Trap box on cylinder head.  The Air Temp sensor Ive never heard of on a 240.  It was a accessory gauge that measured outside air temperature. Hope this helped.  Roger
