Right sorry about this fellas! Temperature gauge spontenously going up and down - Faulty temparature sensor? Well yeah but even when the needle was showing cold the fan was still kicking in??? (does the car have 2 temp sensors - one for the dash and one for the fan?) I recently changed the thermostat because that was faulty but this happening a few days later seems too much of a coincidence!!! Also the needle wasn't showing fully cold just above the white block on the dash then suddnly it would shootup (never went too the fully cold mark) I assume the temp sensor is the pointing upwards out of the thermostat housing correct or is it the sensor at the bottom? Thanks |

Thats what I orginally thought but apperently thats on the rad, seems odd that such an old car has 3 different teperature sensors on it! |

Once it reaches operating temp it should stay around NO in the NORM |

ok 1. the sensor in the rad is for the fan (fan switch) 2. the sensor on the bottom of the stat is for the clocks temp guage and the one on the top of the stat goes to the ecu to let it know when the stat is open or closed and prob some other technical poo but thats about it ok guys |
