M95

Hello guys,

Since I bought my 95 mustang, I was wondering why technicians made water temperature sensor so simple.All I can see is the red arrowtraveling within the [] NORMAL [] zone. It's ok if this arrow is in the middle position but I'm starting to be nervous when it goes a little bit right in hot weather or in the traffic. Do I need a new electric cooling fan?

Thanks

i suggest a aftermarket gauges, mine was wayyyyyyyyy off but mine is a fox so i guess there is some differences. not sure why its so simple but unless you have overheating issues i say if its in the normal zone its ok but im sure someone with an sn94 95 will chime in with a little more knowledge

If you're this bad with a dummy guage, image how you'd be witha real-time guage. Keep-it-stupid-simple. (not a rip on you you just a saying that means, why complicate a simple thing when by complicating you could actually make things worse). Unless your FI or track modified there's no real reason to have additional information. It will just make you more "paranoid"

Thanks guys for your response!

Way off, it's great but did you ever think about exact temperature level? Maybe it is below normal? In this case you'll burn more gas. Another thing, which is more dramatic, overheating may damange the engine. In my earler car, there were temperature levels shown from 140 to 230. I was able to see in what condition the engine was running. And the "Normal" working temperature, based on my experience, is 194.

But anyway, because ofmy pure experience in american cars,I'll be less nervous seeing your responses

I have an aluminum flex fan, the rest of my cooling is stock, ( UD pulleys also, so fan spins slower). My stang normally runs at the bottom of the A in NORMAL, and at the top of the A when its really hot out. I was a bit frightened when it was running at the half mark, someone on here said thats the perfect level(maybe for stock plastic fan?), i topped off my coolant level and its back down in the low A.
