Temperature gauge help
just having an issue with my temperature gauge not working in my 85 Trans am with a 91 350 tpi. It worked no problem last year, car is next to flawless and I changed my hoses over the off season to new chrome ones. and now my gauge doesn't work when I started driving it this summer . I replaced the temp sensor and solved nothing. I hear there's a temp sender aswell?? Or pcm related? Computer is brand new and I'm not really sure where to begin short of sending it to a shop to get it diagnosed. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: Temperature gauge help
Did the sensor that you replaced look like this?

Re: Temperature gauge help
There's a temp sender that screws into the driver side head between the 1st and 3rd cylinder, sometimes the wire will make contact with the manifold/header and burn and short out. The sender itself is under $20 and easy to replace once you get a socket on it
