Beck/Arnley Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor P/N:158-0924
Give the ECU an accurate read on engine coolant temperature with the Beck/Arnley Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor / Fuel Injection Cold Start Valve 158-0536. It drops in as a direct replacement that matches OE form, fit and function on a wide range of GM applications, including the 1996-1999 Acura SLX, 1985-1995 Buick Century, 2001-2005 Buick LeSabre, and 1985-2005 Chevrolet Astro — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 577 applications.
This sensor reads engine coolant temperature and sends that signal to the ECU, which the module uses to trim fuel delivery and ignition timing across warm-up and normal operation. If a failed coolant temperature sensor is the cause of hard cold starts, a rough or high idle when cold, an inaccurate temperature reading, or a related check-engine light, this replaces it — diagnose the cause before replacing.
Wiring harness not included; thread sealer not included. Country of origin: China. Listed under both the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor and Fuel Injection Cold Start Valve part-type names.

What does the 158-0536 sensor do?
It reads engine coolant temperature and sends the signal to the ECU, which uses it to adjust fuel delivery and ignition timing during warm-up and normal operation.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It's a direct replacement listed for 577 GM applications, such as the 1996-1999 Acura SLX, 1985-1995 Buick Century, and 1985-2005 Chevrolet Astro. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for your exact year, model, and engine.
What are signs this sensor may need replacing?
Possible signs include hard cold starts, a rough or high cold idle, an inaccurate temperature reading, or a related check-engine light. Diagnose the cause first, since these can have other sources.
Is a wiring harness or thread sealer included?
No. A wiring harness is not included and thread sealer is not included with this sensor.
Why is it listed under two part-type names?
It's cataloged under both the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor and Fuel Injection Cold Start Valve categories, so it may appear under either name. The manufacturer describes it as a coolant temperature sensor.
