My god damn temp gauge started to act weirdly AGAIN this week!
When it first started last summer, i changed the thermostat because it was stuck open and did a radiator flush at the same time. Then the car went for storage from december 1st to april 1st. Nothing happened ever sinced after i changed it... Everything was okay until yesterday. I got stuck into traffic for the first time this season and my temperature gauge started to go down and up back and forth. It goes from it's normal operating temperature to the lowest it can, on and on, but never above normal temperature. Sometimes it takes 5 mins for it to go back up, others 15, and today it got stuck at the coldest possible all day long (I drive my car for 25 kms twice a day only) like if my engine was always cold (like from cold start in the morning). Fans runs okay, they dont always work and they do start once in a while. I asked for some advices to a few friends who do their own mech and they all said i shoudlnt worry too much since its not like if the gauge had shown the engine was getting too hot. Some thinks it could only be the cluster... while i'm wondering if their could be some kind of "heat sensor" or some random thing like that?? Any clues anyone? Someone ever encounter this kind of situation? This post has been edited by reko: Aug 21, 2009 - 4:11 PM -------------------- |

I hear it can be the coolant temperature sensor (located on the coolant neck of the engine, in front of the distributor) that causes that. when it goes bad.

There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.
