Ok so I am using a 01 XJ engine in a 96 XJ, got it running last night but I have this one last problem to solve.
The 97+ engine uses the ECU temp sensor and broadcasts that signal on the CDD bus where the gauge cluster picks that up, the 96 system uses a sensor for the ECU and a separate sensor for the temp gauge in the cluster.
The simplest solution I can see is to relocate the stock temp sensor up by the ECU temp sensor in the thermostat housing. To that end:
Can anyone who has done this same swap tell me either their solution, or what the correct tap size is?
Second, lets assume no one else has ever done this(or at least done this and posted results so that I could find them in the search). I need to figure out this tap size.
The major diameter of the sensor reads .391 in, or 9.93 mm. My thread gauge here shows the threads to be 27TPI.
As far as I can tell 27TPI is not any regular thread, which makes me think this thread is metric.
So it looks like 9.93mm means M10, 27TPI = 0.941 mm pitch(I don't have a metric thread gauge), so it might be M10x1?
Any other thoughts for me?
