RE: Fuel in Coolant
That's good to know.
Perhaps I unknowingly got some fuel on the sensor when I was working on it last week...
I did find the fuel leak I was initially looking for; it's on the engine-side of the injection pump.
RE: Higher temperatures.
I installed water temp senders in the coolant return hose (to the radiator) and my wagon reads an average of 10F-20F higher than my sedan. It also gets up to temperature much faster.
I installed an 80C thermostat in my Wagon the other week after suspecting (haven't yet confirmed) that my sedan has an 80C thermostat. The wagon is now averaging 190-190F versus the sedan with is around 175-180F.
I have not yet had the chance to test steep hills, but in the past, my wagon temperature would spike/increase during sustained highway travel and up hills, causing several hoses to burst.
