Temp gauge not working

DenverMR2 · 10-01-2007, 09:25 PM

I was wondering what all could be wrong with my temp gauge as it will not rise, i've replaced the temp sensor since that was an obvious fix. also could you mention how much it may cost to fix the problem as i'm on a very limited budget.

Just something to check but the gauge uses a different sensor then the ECU. It is on the bottom of the coolant goose neck and is a one-wire plug. Make sure it is plugged in as it often gets forgotten when doing work on the engine.
