Default How to fix/replace coolant temp sensor on integra

While I was wrapping my harness with harness tape the wire on the coolant temp sensor ripped apart. I can understand why my car is almost 30 years old so something are bound to break and be replaced. Does anyone know the part number or where I can buy a new one. I was trying to knot the copper wire together but it’s to short on the
sensor end. I’m going to go to a junkyard tomorrow and see if I can find one that I can re use but I would appreciate if anyone can send a link where I can buy a new one.

Cut off a replacement plug from a car in the junkyard... then crimp and heat shrink it to your existing wiring... and then re-tape/loom it as you attempted before.

I just replaced mine with this! fits perfect and is a nice pig tail! even has a clear sleave to protect the metal prong. They sell a nice TPS/Map pig tail as well which I have also! shown off to the right with colored wires. My Map sensor harness was acting up because i extended it years ago, it would make the engine stall if the vibrations moved the harness, I got the pig tail on and fixed my issue.

This was the only sensor I could find at the junkyard it came from a 95 integra which is the same year as mine. Will this work?



The wire is still connected I was tugging on it a bit to make sure it wasn’t loose. Also some of the protective black rubber is ripped compared to mine, does that matter?

Your replacement looks pretty rough... but it will work if you are really gentle installing it. I would suggest that you keep your eye out for a "nicer" replacement and swap it out when you find one.
