Default 98 GT, PI headswap, temp guage not working..

k, well since the PI headswap you can only use 1 temp sensor, so i used the black one and it worked just fine for a few months and the sensor cracked from a wrench hitting it and stopped working, now I've replaced the sensor and the temp guage moves but is WAY off, it is way below where it should be, and even when it gets hot it doesn't even go to the C on the guage... wtf??

your better off getting an autometer guage. better to have a temp guage that tells you the temp and not "normal".

You need to hook the temperature sensor for the computer back up. That's what the second of the two is for.

Drill and tap the waterneck housing. That's the easiest place I've found to put it.
