Nevermind, I just found this:
Coolant Temperature Sensor=20
Two sensors are located in the cooling loop. The sensors are isolated =
from the coolant by being installed in wells that are filled with =
thermal grease.
I guess what I thought was an extension is the well.
Sorry, to waste bandwidth,
Bob

Subject: [Diy_efi] coolant temperature sensor extension (?!)
I pulled out my coolant sensor while working to replace my water pump =
and thermostat.
Strange (?), the sensor is mounted in an extension. The aluminum =
extension has what looks to be a sensor on the end of it. When I =
seperated the two, the actual sensor looks normal except for what looks =
like a little lithium grease inside the extension where the actual =
sensor resides.
What's odd, is that the threads on the extension are the same size =
threads on the sensor.
Why would this combination exist? Am I missing something, here?
Can I dump the extension and just put only the sensor back in the =
block?
Does anyone have any incite into this combination/situation?
Thanks,
Bob
