      Accuracy of Coolant Gauge on Dash

      How well did you bleed the air from the cooling system?

      Accuracy of Coolant Gauge on Dash

      By mycarsucks · Posted

      I used a IR sensor and found something weird: When scanning the t-stat housing, front head, and water pump, the temps are all in between 180 and 200, but when scanning the rear head (right where the sensor for the gauge is) it registers at 230-240!  The left side of the rear head registers cool just like the rest of the engine, its JUST on the driver side of the rear head where it appears to be overheating.

      Its possible I suppose. but you may also have an issue, be it a bad thermostat or whatnot.  It should be noted that the gauge and the computer use different sensors I assume if you possessed a scantool you would have used that already Or go buy a cheap IR thermometer and temp it off the radiator hose or someplace.

      Accuracy of Coolant Gauge on Dash

      Ever since I installed my new motor in my 95 GP I have noticed that the coolant temp reads about 30 degrees higher than it did before the swap. Is it possible that the temp sensor for the gauge which plugs into the rear head reads higher than the old one or would changing that sensor make no difference

      TGP hood vent repair.

      By rich_e777 · Posted

      Do you recall if you could secure the pan to the hood with the screen without the plastic vent? Thats the general idea I`m shooting for, then the plastic can attach to something stable rather that be a contributing factor. It seems too brittle to be at either end of a clamping force and better off in between if that makes any sense.
