Hi,can anybody out there tell me why my Auto Choke Light stays on and the Choke continues to operate/engine races even though the engine as reached operating temp? Also, my Temp Gauge is not working, are these two problems connected? The car is an 1985 5.0 Iroc. Thanks in anticipation.

 

Check the alternator, when the alternator stops charging the choke light comes on--cool huh. Since the temp guage isn't working, it's possible to have a bad wire, bad connection, or something in the wiring that is not working.
