temp gauge broke after indiglo install...
Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2003 6:52 pm
Hello all...
After finally getting my indiglo gauges (and fuel injectors!) installed and my car running...I find my stock coolant temp gauge isn't working any more. I was careful to make sure the indiglo gauges didn't "bow" up and hit the gauge needle...although its not a perfect fit, so they might touch the cap on top of the shaft going to the needle. I double checked the connections...Any ideas? Any ideas on how I could safely run my car until I get it fixed? Maybe I could read temp changes from normal with a voltmeter hooked up somewhere? I have been planning on getting aftermarket gauges for a while...where would I tap into for a coolant temp sensor for my gauges? Any other temporary fixe ideas?
thanks
