Engine Temperature Sending Unit

[usmcsgt1968]

The temp sending unit on the housing for the upper radiator hose, just below on the block. What is the correct part number for that sensor that feeds info to the temp gauge? It's for a 1988 LX

Ford no longer carries parts for the Festiva. You have to search the Internet of call and visit local auto parts suppliers. When buying off the Internet be sure you have the right year and model and compare as many websites as you can to make sure the part numbers are the same because some websites list and ship wrong parts. Sometimes you can also check the manufacturer's website to help insure you are ordreing the right part. And check here.

Your right, you can no longer get any Festiva parts from Ford Dealerships. I was just wondering what the part number for this sensor was....Do you know?

[WmWatt]

Sorry I don't know part number. 1990new posted Ford part number above. What I usually do is look up part by name on Internet and look at part numbers on websites. Same part from different retailers and manufacturers usually has same basic part number with extra characters. And you can always post here on For Sale/ Wanted forum to see if anyone has one they will part with.

Green Sales Company has five E92Z-10884-C in stock.

Can't quite remember, but I think there are two different ones. depend on age. Two different thread patterns. one is bigger. I went through tis about ten years ago. Be sure you can return what you get just in case.

Yeah, go to Rockauto and look up a 1988, and then a 1991. Definite difference. Mine is an '89 and I think yhey went both ways that year. Compare to pics to be sure.

[WmWatt]

^^^ that difference in the '88 is probably carburetor or fuel injected. '88 was the first year for the fuel injected (in USA anyway) which they had to put on to get the automatic transmission to meet fuel efficiency standard in USA. The poster has the LX model which would be fuel injected. Carburetor was L model.

Here is the info returned by the Rockauto for the 1988 (Sorry I did not know those parts were different on the 1988 Festivas)

Hope this helps- 1988 - https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...t=4748&jsn=920. 1991 - https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...=4748&jsn=1018. Note the bigger diameter of the '91 model. Yours is probably the '88, but it is easy to unscrew it and look to be sure. You could have a different head or something. Honestly, Rockauto has never let me down. I would order one from them. Good luck!

Correction to post #11 above where I wrote '88 was the first year for fuel injection. Of course it was '89 and I knew that but mistyped and now it's too late to edit and correct that post.

You are forgiven... I'm 77 years old and my typing fingers are getting more frequent short circuits from my brain than they used to also... but it sure is nice to still be alive and enjoying life.
