- Hard starting when the engine is cold
- Rough idle or unstable warm-up behavior
- Fuel mixture concerns tied to inaccurate temperature input
- Cooling system control issues caused by a faulty sensor signal
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify connector style, terminal layout, and mounting style before installation. TX79 uses a bolt-on design with a round female plug-in connector and a single male pin terminal, so matching the original sensor connection is important for proper fitment. For 1993-1995 Ford Probe service, confirm the engine coolant system is cool before removal and inspect the connector for corrosion or damage during replacement.
