Hello guys I recently went to our local parts store and Picked myself up two gauges. a fuse Electronic temperature gauge for my water. and A manual Oil Pressure Gauge need help on where these go and How to install them on a 91 Honda accord ex f22a1

 

u could custom mount them in the dash or the A pillar

 

I would say the easiest way would be to install a 1/4"(I think) pipe tee where the original factory sensor is, and then two couplings on each side of the tee. then tie in one side reattach your factory sensor. On the other, attach the new sensor. Then run the wire to the new gauge. Make sure you dont put too much pipe dope/teflon tape. As you still need a good metal to metal connection, as this is the ground the new gauge will need. For the oil, it depends on what type of gauge you got, if it is a real pressure gauge where the oil actually runs to the back of the gauge, then instead of a sensor on the side of the tee, you will need to get a pip thread to ferrelled fitting...to attach the tubing, which will run through the firewall and to the back of the gauge. Most people run nylon tubig...but some run metal.

 

So what I did was taken the sensor out of the waterneck"cut two small wires" and made some coustom stuff out of copper to come out of waterneck onto a manual gauge, do I have to reattach my stock sensor?

 

The one youre wanting is under the distributor. Theres three water temp sensor/switches(Two under the dizzy and one on the tstat housing). The one you want will have one wire. If you dont reattach the factory sensor, your factory gauge wont work(Which isnt a huge deal, as it isnt very accurate anyway.

If you remove the wrong sensor, either your cooling fans wont work, or your pcm wont be getting the proper ECT and your car will run really rich, get really bad gas mileage.

 

removed the green 1 off waterneck. had 2 wires on it... I put a aftermarket gauge in the car. simply because its a racecar the factory gauge is kinda a lag for a dirt track car. I need accurately working gauges
