Keep your engine-management system reading accurate temperatures with the Standard Ignition Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor, part number TX111. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998 Chevrolet Camaro and 1998 Pontiac Firebird equipped with the V8-5.7L engine.
This sensor monitors engine coolant temperature and sends that reading to the powertrain control module (PCM), which relies on it to manage fuel delivery, ignition timing, and cooling-fan operation.
- Measures coolant temperature: reports the coolant's temperature to the PCM for closed-loop control.
- Supports fuel and timing: the signal helps the module set the correct air-fuel ratio and spark timing.
- Direct-fit application: designed to replace the original sensor on the listed vehicles.
Signs this sensor may need replacing include a check engine light, hard cold starts, rough idle, poor fuel economy, or an erratic temperature reading. Diagnose the cause first; if a faulty coolant temperature sensor is behind the symptom, this part replaces it.
Manufacturer part number TX111.
