Engine temp gauge broke?
It doesn't work anymore. It goes up to 100* and thats it. Do you think its a sensor? If so which one and where is it? Any help would be great. Thanks.

FB,
The sensor for the dash instrument is located in the left (driver's side) cylinder head. Check the resistance of the sensor and compare it to the table. If the resistance isn't correct at a given temperature, replace it.
As a hint, the temperature gauge needle should travel to full-scale when the engine is being cranked. If not, the problem is more likely in the dash instrument itself.
