92 Civic, Radiator Hose Insert, Temp Problem
I have a k24a2 swapped EG using Hybrid Racing Conversion Harness. I've been running it withouth a temperature reading on the cluster for a while now. No problem since im running the fan with hondata kpro at 182* no check engine, no overheating, no problem. I got tired of looking at the dead temperature gauge so i opted to fix this and for some added peace of mind.
I picked up a brand new cylinder head temperature sensor from honda
and a Blox water temperature adapter/radiator hose insert.
Before i do anything i take the blue wire labeled "temp gauge" and ground it and my needle reads Hot. Good
I install the sensor and adapter into place. Slap my blue wire on the sensor and ground the housing via screw for it to chassis.
My needle stays "Hot" and wont budge.
Thinking and Ruling things out. I swapped out the sensor with a known working one from my integra outside and nothing. The sensor in question worked flawlessly in the integra. That Rules the Sensor out.
I tried switching grounds, switching sensors, undoing and doing. Nothing!! it only Reads HOT!! i've spent my money, bought and leaked my antifreeze i just purchased and im very sad and upset.
