[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 483073, member: 24227"] What I would do: If this motor stores a history of faults, let a shop scan it to tell you whether the problem is with pressure or temperature. IF not, research what type of output signal each sensor uses. Put a meter on one sensor, and then the other, while running the motor in a barrel and try to duplicate the problem. If you own two meters, do both at the same time. This will tell you whether the problem is temp or pressure. Swap out that sensor and see if the problem goes away. If it does - you saved yourself the cost of a repair. If not, you wasted $ on a sensor but it's still going to be cheaper than shop time. If the problem continues - you'll have mechanical troubleshooting to do. Intermittent problems are hard to diagnose - even for the pros. [/QUOTE]
