[QUOTE="chad keene, post: 1021299, member: 68848"] I tried the test, I turned the key to run but did not crank or start the engine, when the engine was dead cold from sitting overnight, and the gauge rose up right to the middle showing the engine was already up to operating temperature which is not possible, as it sit all night overnight. Then I disconnected the sensor connector turned the key to run again but did not crank over or start the engine, and the gauge sit right on the C mark. Afterwards I decided to try the original sensor that was in it with the original housing and the gauge was normal again, so I am guessing I got a bad temperature sensor or the wrong one with the wrong resistance.
