Hey Everyone,

So i have a slight problem my temp gauge is not working; here is what i know...
1. the gauge is good and works 100% and is not broken
2. new temperture sensor and works.

so there is my problem (
would anyone know what it might be? any help would be good!

Thanks!

so how have you verified both work??? you did replace the single wire temp sensor right not the two wire one I assume??

yeah both are working . this is the new sensor that i have http://inpcars.com/coolant-temperatu...company-qw.jpg and the guage is working. So what should i do?

mjr46

well that still didn't answer my question!! you have not verified the sensor is working and or gauge...how do I know that as to make such a bold statement?? cause that sensor pictured is the ect for the ecm input not for the gauge.... the temp sensor for the gauge is a single wire with a 90 degree elbow on the end and is on the driver side very front of the lower intake left corner....can't miss it..replace it and see if the gauge works

Ground the single wire for the temp sensor. If the gauge is working, it will make the gauge see full hot

Like Pro and MJR said...... the sender you should be testing is......

thanks guys for all your help... the guys at autozone didn't know what i was talking about and the 2 pin sensor kept coming up for them... so after 20 min of waiting i got what i needed and everything works fine now!

Yea.. I need a new one of those for my stock gauge to work but I spent $25 and got a mechanical gauge from the part store to see what my temp really is.

Sorry I missed this before, at Auto zone it is called"Temperature Switch", had the same grieftrying to get the guy to find the right part.

that stock gauge aint too accurate even with a "working" sender

i put my autometer on my '92 just because i had it off my other car. sure enough, the stock one was off by over 10 degree's most of the time.
