Where is the temperature sending unit in a 1996 Chevy Camaro?

The temperature sending unit (often called the coolant temperature sensor) in a 1996 Chevy Camaro is located on the engine block, usually near the thermostat housing. However, the *exact* location can vary slightly depending on the engine (e.g., 3.4L V6, 3.8L V6, LT1 5.7L V8, etc.).

To be certain, you'll need to:

1. Consult your car's repair manual: This will have a diagram showing the exact location. A Haynes or Chilton manual is a good investment for car maintenance.

2. Look at a diagram online: Search for "[Your Camaro's Engine] coolant temperature sensor location" on Google Images. Make sure you specify the correct engine size.

3. Visually inspect your engine: The sensor is usually a single-wire or multi-wire sensor with a connector attached, often near a hose or other components connected to the coolant system. It's usually a small, cylindrical device.

Be cautious when working near hot engine components. Allow the engine to cool completely before attempting to locate or replace the sensor.
