Walker 211-2158 Engine Coolant Temperature Sender

Walker 211-2158 Engine Coolant Temperature Sender

Walker Sender Only 211-2158 is an OE replacement engine coolant temperature sender built to measure coolant temperature and send that signal to the ECU or instrument cluster. It is a direct-fit brass sender for accurate temperature reporting in cooling system and engine management service.

Key Features

• Brass construction for high-temperature coolant exposure
• Spade terminal with one male connector and female terminal interface
• OE-style resistance values and thermal response curve
• Threads into the original sender port for direct replacement
• Built for pressurized coolant, vibration, and thermal cycling
• Compatible with factory wiring on the original application

Product Details

This Walker coolant temperature sender is engineered for the 1996-1997 Ford Aspire, sender only. The part number 211-2158 is designed to restore accurate coolant temperature input so the vehicle’s control system and dash gauge receive the correct signal. Walker 211-2158 uses a brass body and OE-matched mounting thread type for a direct replacement in the factory port, commonly located in the engine block, thermostat housing, or intake manifold.

Walker Products Sender Only line focuses on direct OE-style temperature senders that match factory electrical and mechanical requirements. For the Ford Aspire, that means a sender that threads in cleanly, connects to the original harness, and provides the temperature data needed for normal engine operation.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition TS-354 for the same application.

Common Issues This Sender Can Address

• Inaccurate dash temperature readings
• False high or low gauge behavior
• Faulty coolant temperature signal to the ECU
• Cooling fan control problems caused by bad temperature input
• Emission readiness issues related to incorrect engine temperature data

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original sender thread type and connector style before installation. Inspect the coolant port and factory wiring for corrosion or damage, and confirm the system is cool and depressurized before removing the old sender. No gasket, seal, thread sealer, or mounting hardware is included.

Quality Assurance

Walker manufactures this sender to OE specifications for resistance values, thermal response, and fitment. It is built from corrosion-resistant materials to handle long-term exposure to coolant and engine heat.
