Hello,

My 1993 Park Avenue Ultra thinks that it is about 60
degrees warmer outside than it actually is.
</span>It is very consistent. </span>I would
image that this is due to added resistance in a line somewhere. </span>However, I have one question.



<b style="">Where is the sensor
that the climate control uses? </span>Is it the
one in the air intake tube, or the little probe in front of the radiator?[/b]



The reason I ask is when I changed my super charger I
bought one for a 1994 Bonny SSEI (Don’t ever let anyone tell you a 94 charger
won’t work on a 93 engine, it will. </span>You
just need to swap a few other parts.)
</span>Because the inlet size of the throttle body is a tad bit larger, I had
to buy an aftermarket intake tube. </span>The
aftermarket tube sits a little higher, so I think it broke the cord, and is now
giving me weird temp readings. </span>However,
I have no idea if that is the temp sensor that the climate box uses, so I need
help!



Thanks!

The 94' Ultra and Lesabre's external temp sensor is the little probe in front of the radiator...

One of mine also was way off temp.
Now it seems to be within 2 degrees..

PS.. It would be nice to see the supercharger info under it's own thread instead of tucked in this one.

By this do you mean you replaced it? If so, did you just grab one from a junk yard? None of the auto stores around here seem to have a part number for the sensor.

Yes..
I got a volunteer part from the junk yard.
I just unattached the part and took it to the JY with me and compared till they matched.. some were close but I found a perfect match.
Check any in the GM family and approximate year.

Showed it to the cashier and they just flagged me through..
