Hey guys I need some advice, and maybe a wiring diagram.

I had to reapply sealant to the bottom of my thermostat housing 'cause it was leaking and in the process the 'coolant temp sensor' snapped in half.

This is the one that tells the computer what the coolant temperature is.

My question is: Can I scotch-lock the wires together from the other temp sensor next to it? So my computer doesn't think that my Antifreeze is at -40*C and flood my engine with fuel every time I try to start it.

Just until I can import a part from the US

Cheers, Sedition..
 






Depends on if the sensor reads the same. You could get a resistor and use that to just pick a happy medium of 180 degrees
