gauge issue ae92

Postby deaf_rattle » Sun Jan 29, 2006 1:43 pm

OK, we have tested the cooling system on my ae92 fxgt and everything seems to be in order (tested inlet and outlet temps as well after 10 mins of 2-3000rpm)
so it looks like the gauge/ sensor is faulty.

it still shoots up from cold to red hot after about 2 mins of running.
I am fairly confident that i have the right sensor in there now.

any suggestions? or should i just unplug the gauge and run an aftermarket gauge? (not really idea)

cheers

I had the same problem after my 3S-GTE Conversion. I found that there was an earth wire that went from the Temp gague that earthed onto the Engine block that I had missed. Hooked that up and all was well
