98 1.6 Location of coolant temp sensor on 1.6 - jase1
The Daewoo is showing the classic symptoms of knackered temp sensor -- runs fine when warm, but jumpy when cold.

Nudge the gas pedal, and the revs dip sharply for a fraction of a second (such that the exterior lights dip in the dark), then rebound back up to where they should be. When the car is running, all is fine. Careful use of clutch minimises the lurching but it catches me out regularly as it's the second car and I don't usually drive it. Strangely SWMBO doesn't see a problem....

As soon as the car has been running for a few minutes, all is fine. Engine sweet as a nut, no MIL, revs stable as can be. Car starts first-time, every time, so in general is running well.

I've identified that the part costs about £20, and that in theory it's fairly easy to fit. However I've had a quick look underneath and can't see it anywhere -- I thought it was supposed to be around the inlet manifold somewhere?

Does anyone have a link to a tech manual for these? I don't think Haynes ever did a manual for them. The engine is just a standard Holden-sourced GM Family II, so I'd imagine almost the same as an Astra.
