Is this the right cooling temp sensor for a 92 ???

just picked up a real nice 92 C4 base vette and had it inspected, they did find a code problem with the coolant temp sensor look at the pic and tell if its the right part, thanx

Yes GM uses the same CTS currently on 2014 vehicles and this will fit all the way back to at least 1981 Corvettes.

thanx for the reply! heres another Q >>>>>>>>>>>>when I had the inspection done at the vette shop the report said thiers 30% on the front brakes, If I rememeber right they said it only needed pads, so I just ask about that at a non-corvette shop and they keep saying I need to turn the rotors . To me the rotors look and feel smooth, but I would like an opinion, thanx

I also just orderd some Monroe sense track front shocks cuzz the ones on the car now are leaking, so
am hoping they will work out ok

That is a difficult question to answer.

Both of the sensors shown at the above link fit your vehicle and they look different.

Ive noticed that too maybe redvette can respond on that

Think about these questions

1) do the brake shudder?
2) are the rotors below min. thickness?
3) Do they have any grooves deeper than .015-in.?

If "No" to all three, don't machine the rotors. Install new pads and bleed.

thanx for the reply and I can honestly say no to all 3 but still need to confirm rotor thickness

I can't see the attachment.

Sounds like you're looking for the ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature sensor). It's screwed into the water pump and has a 2 pin connector that plugs into it. It has a Yellow wire and a Black wire.

There is a CTS (Coolant Temperature sender) screwed between the 6 and 8 spark plugs which is used for the Dash Cluster temperature gauge. It has a single Dark Green wire going to it.
