Somewhat, yes. I think what you're seeing is the tarnished brass color come through. That "ring" is part of the brass case and not colored other than it's native metal color. The insulator is where the color is - white on mine; purple(ish) on Anglin's.John R. Rowlands wrote:Did you clean the ring between what I'm calling the insulator and the brass case?

Re: XR4Ti Temperature Gauge - The Cause of Low Temperature
Hey, guys....since the last post in this thread was from 2007, is there a temperature sender anyone would recommend? Did a google search in the last part but can't find any for sale.

Had some, none right now unfortunately...
Re: XR4Ti Temperature Gauge - The Cause of Low Temperature
Ian found out a while back that the Cosworth tem sensor was a good match. PN yb0201. I never did order one but he said he was able to get them from cosworth USA.
Well the sensor electrically was the same but it did need a thread adapter in otder to fit the lower manifold.

Hey jkxr4ti. What's it look like?
Re: XR4Ti Temperature Gauge - The Cause of Low Temperature
It looks to be the same for all the Sierras. They call it a "violet ring". I did a look on RockAuto and they look like straight thread in the 16-18mmx2.0 range. Cost about $6, but shipping will be about $25. Might be worth it to purchase a bunch and sell.
Re: XR4Ti Temperature Gauge - The Cause of Low Temperature
timxr8, You have a link for that part at rock auto? Cause this is what I found on ebay.

Its like the one in the second link you posted:

You'll need a pipe bushing adapter to fit it to the XR lower intake. Hardware store brass 3/8" male x 1/8" female pipe bushing only about $3.

Thanks merkurdriver.
Re: XR4Ti Temperature Gauge - The Cause of Low Temperature
So I was looking around the other night and found a echlin sensor cross reference guide with some Ohm values in it.
3 domestically available posibilities are:
Napa TS6046
Mazda Miata early years plus some hyundai cars.
100°F=240Ω
250°F= 20Ω
33-41Ω
@200°F
1/8x27NPTF
------------------------
Nissan 84-96 300ZX, 200SX
TS6070
100°F=217Ω
250°F=15.5Ω
M12x1.25
-------------------
90-92 ford probe 3.0
TS6672
C@100°F=239Ω
@220°F=28Ω
3/8NPT
If someone wants to try one of these give it a shot.
Also here is what rock auto and others list for the sierras for those years
Black ring- YB Cos, Taunus (sierra/granada 10/85 - 12/88)
{
Standard Motor Products 53170
Febi 01805
Ford 6145143
Ford 86VB-10884-BA
Lucas SNB174
Valeo 700034
Vemo V25-72-0042
}
For reference here is whats listed for the mustang sensor that doesnt work correctly:
100°F=176Ω
220°F=24.1Ω
3⁄8x 18 NPTF

Re: XR4Ti Temperature Gauge - The Cause of Low Temperature
jkxr4ti - great info with the Ohm values - do you have the values for the purple ring sender?
Re: XR4Ti Temperature Gauge - The Cause of Low Temperature
RESURRECTION!!!
So i had a temp gauge reading really low, Like in between the two bottom lines on the gauge. So i pulled the ECT guess what? f***** clogged! So i shoved an Allen wrench in there and broke all the crap loose, but i still didn't have satisfactory flow so i took the t fitting off. It was totally blocked on both sides of the sensor. So i cleaned all of that crap out. Then i moved to the intake, i took a standard #2 Phillips and stuck it in until the handle hit the manifold, when i started moving it around a chunk about the size of a quarter falls out. "HOLY CRAP THE INTERWEBS WAS ACTUALLY RIGHT!"
I haven't reassembled it yet but I'll update on my gauge operation after i put it back together and replace that hose.
UPDATE: cleaned everything some more and reassembled. I wouldn't say the gauge works correctly, but it now reads at or just above the two lines on the bottom of the range. It previously ran in between them, so only a slight improvement. I talked to my parts guy and the only Fmc purple ring sensor i could find was in az or co. Should i order the Ford part or an aftermarket replacement?
