i have a serious problem with my temp. gauge! sometimes it works and others it doesnt. i looked for the temp. sensor but i dunno where it is at and i dont even know if that could be the problem. it peaks when i start the car but once i relase the key and it begins to idle i look and the gauge is back below 100 but not to the point where its not reading cause when i turn the car off it drops a little. someone help!!!!

 

On the left side head between plug 1 and 3 there is a temp gauge sending unit with a one wire connector going to it. Make sure it's hooked up to the unit, otherwise the gauge won't do anything.

 

i hate when people say left side or right side it throws me off why dont people say passenger or driverside? neways sometimes it sort of works. could the sensor be bad?

 

left side = drivers side

check the wiring to make sure ur not grounding out or anything and that its connected..

 

this is the temp sending unit

 

thanks. how much did your accel plugs cost? what kind of wires are those?

 

they look like taylor wires to me

 

that brownish colored shroud is dry rotted and fell apart on me! where can i get a new 1? im not sure if mine is grounded out or not. how would i tell?

 

oh by the way i went to get that part and every time they give me a part that doesnt look like that. can you give me a link or part number or something to where i can find it and buy it?
