ns87 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 Point me in the right direction. I searched and couldn't find anything. On the Cutlass Supreme 3.1MPFI where would I find the sensors (temp,oil pressure,voltage?perhaps) to upgrade to the full analoge gauges? geez, I hope that made sense Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 oil pressure sending unit is mounted down next to the oil filter. temp sending unit - there are two of them, one for the ECM and one for the gauges. the ECM uses the one that is just below the thermostat housing. the guages use the one in the backside corner of the rear cylinder head (on driver's side).

ns87 Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Posted November 17, 2005 Does the volt gauge use the data from the ECM or does it have another sensor as well? Quote
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 gauges measure voltage, so the volt gauge doesn't need a sensor Quote
ns87 Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Posted November 17, 2005 perfecto. I have some things to think about Quote
Grand Moff Joseph Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 oil pressure sending unit is mounted down next to the oil filter. temp sending unit - there are two of them, one for the ECM and one for the gauges. the ECM uses the one that is just below the thermostat housing. the guages use the one in the backside corner of the rear cylinder head (on driver's side). Can someone get a pic of the one that is in the "backside corner of the rear cylinder head"?? Quote
Supreme Cutlass Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 perfecto. I have some things to think about As for the oil pressure sender, it's worth it in my opinion to buy the special deep socket for it. I just replaced mine and it's a real bitch to do with anything else as a 1-1/16 is too shallow. Quote
Grand Moff Joseph Posted November 21, 2005 Report Posted November 21, 2005 OK, I looked under at my car's engine (3.1), and I think I found both of the sensors mentioned here... -The oil pressure sensor is right next to the oil filter, with the protruding wires facing the ground -The temp sensor used by the guages is basically directly beneath the alternator, towards the bottom of the engine Is this correct??

ns87 Posted November 22, 2005 Author Report Posted November 22, 2005 well, I've gotten back from college. I did my thinking, and I guess I'll leave it be. I just bought a new front bumper on ebay, and after specifying I needed a 4 door, $175 the bastard still sent me a two door bumper! Goals: valve job, new monoleaf, new lower intake manifold gasket Quote
