Hi guys,
I'm not getting a coolant temp reading on my gauge. The computer one seems fine though, because it didn't come up in the engine codes, but the gauge one's bad. It looks like someone put an extra nut on it and for that reason, the lead on the wire isn't making a good connection to the sensor. The nut isn't coming off so I figured I'd spend the 10 buck to just buy a new sensor. I went down to Autozone and asked for the sensor and he gave me a different looking one. I told him I was looking for the gauge coolant temp sensor, on the intake manifold and he told me he didn't have that and had never heard of it. So when I got home I took a picture of the sensor to make sure that it is indeed the coolant temp sensor, and that's all I'm looking for, confirmation that this is indeed the gauge coolant temp sensor.
