	Temperature Gauge
		One of the members reported a problem with the coolant temperature gauge which moved to it's mid position as soon as the ignition was switched on, even when the engine was completely cold.
		This sender only operates the temperature gauge but its analogue output is digitised in the instrument cluster for obd reporting.
		One member had reported that when the lights were on the gauge behaved itself - believe it or not that was due to the dash panel bulbs warming the circuit board so that it expands.

	Temperature gauge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A temperature gauge is a device used to indicate the temperature of an item being monitored.
		The word gauge would seem to exclude a thermometer, which uses the thermal expansion of a liquid, but in the sense that it measures temperature it would seem to qualify.
		Common methods of measuring temperature include bimetallic strip (the bending of which increases with temperature) and the thermocouple which produces an electronic voltage that depends on the temperature.

	O'Donnell Racing TGX1 temperature gauge
		A few years ago infrared temperature gauges were not a feasible purchase for many in the hobby.
		The TGX1 temperature gauge was handy for both the break-in process as well as tuning the vehicle later as well.
		The gauge proved itself to be well within the accuracy range when I compared it to a few other more expensive handheld gauges I have access to.

	Jeep CJ Gauge & Sender Diagnostics
		This article only covers gauges and sending units used in the AMC Jeep CJs built from '72-'86, but some of this information will be useful for owners of other Jeeps.
		To be sure the problem is not the gauge, you can momentarily short the pink wire on the output of the sender to ground, and this should show up as FULL on your gauge.
		If the gauge does not move from EMPTY either the wiring has an open circuit (no voltage, or no connection to ground) or he gauge is bad.

	Plymouth: First Decade - Temperature Gauge Repair (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The temperature gauge is a “mechanical” unit consisting of a bulb with fluid (ether) mounted in engine head, a gauge head mounted in the instrument cluster on the dash, and a tube connecting the bulb to the gauge head.
		In this case, the gauge head unit is known to be working properly, the defect is in the tubing and in the loss of fluid from the sealed system.
		The gauge head is a Bourdon tube connected to the indicator by a linkage.

		This type of temp gauge is less accurate because the readings depend largely on where and on which engine the sensor is mounted.
		This gauge is the least expensive by a long shot, so it has been the choice of the vast majority of nitro enthusiasts.
		Regularly using a temperature gauge allows you to build a “library” of tuning data that you can refer to; when faced with conditions you’ve tested in, you’ll know which engine temperature range to shoot for.

	SS #670 Mods: Gauge pod
		Since water temperature has a big effect on HP (as shown at the dyno), it's nice to have a working water temperature gauge.
		Since the water temperature is so much lower than with the stock radiator, it's possible my old oil cooler setup would keep the oil temperature lower 225° F. But 225° F seems acceptable and certainly I have a simpler setup with fewer oil line fittings.
		Transmission temperature stays close to 100° F. The highest I've seen it is 180° F (this was after hours of driving during a road trip).

	Transmission Temperature Gauge Hook-Up
		A transmission temperature gauge is important on these cars because the transmission, as is, is probably the weakest part of the car.
		To find a transmission temperature gauge that is right for you go to my A-Pillar Gauge Selection page.
		If you are wiring up 2 gauges at the same time it is a good idea to connect the other gauges 12V+ and ground in the same splice as these.

	Jeep CJ Gauge & Sender Diagnostics
		The fuel and temperature gauges can be bench tested by connecting a good ground to the gauge cluster and connecting positive 12v to the I terminal of the fuel gauge using a 3 amp fuse.
		The temperature gauge gets it power from the regulated output of the fuel gauge so the jumper strap connecting the A terminals of the fuel and temperature gauges must be left intact.
		There is a mechanical voltage regulator inside the fuel gauge to reduce the voltage to 5 volts for both the fuel and temperature meters.

	Building an Intercooler Water Temperature Gauge & Fuel Temperature Gauge
		The problem with the first gauge is it uses an electronic control box that would require a new gauge for each item to be measured (two new gauges, one for fuel temp, one for intercooler water temp).
		Now that the gauge was in and installed it was time to give it a try for a day or two to see how well it responded.
		I contemplated marking the gauge with a sharpie (actually finding someone with better penmanship) to using a p-touch labeler and finally decided to use transparency paper that was inkjet compatible to print the numbers.

	Y2KOTA - Electronic Digital Temperature Gauge
		Temperature sender mounted in the transmission fluid cooling line just as it exits the transmission.
		The probe was originally installed on the air bleeder port where the top radiator hose fitting is. The disadvantage with the probe in the air vent port is that there is a low flow of coolant there until the T-stat opens.
		While digging around the toolbox, this valve was found to be a perfect air bleeder valve to replace to temperature probe.

	Induction Air Temperature Gauge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The engine bay temperature reaches in excess of 140 degrees F. We know this because the intercooler fan is activated at that temperature, by the temperature sensor that is located under the engine lid.
		So for £4.70p, I purchased a digital temperature gauge with a remote sensor on the end of a 2 meter cable.
		The engine temperature before starting was 3.4 degrees C. I let the engine warm up before starting off and with the coolant temp on normal and the engine compartment temp on 9.2 degrees C, I took it nice and steady onto the motorway.

	Back Room: Vauxhall Astra Temperature Gauge
		It sounds as though either the regulator is away (is the fuel gauge reading high) or there is a short to groung on the wire from the gauge to the block temp sensor.
		Basically what's happening is the temperature gauge is rising quickly when i drive the car be it from cold or driven throughout the day.
		If your temp gauge goes straight to red from a cold start and doesn't go to say something over half way after the first two or three miles and then drop back a fair bit as the thermostat opens to allow the coolant to circulate, then it could still be a jammed thermostat.

	MGA Dash Tech - temperature gauge
		Internally the water temperature gauge is actually a pressure gauge, nearly identical to the oil pressure gauge.
		The vapor pressure is roughly proportional to the temperature change, and this pressure drives the temperature gauge.
		For the temperature gauge, all that is required to kill it is a small crack in the fluid line that would allow loss of the working fluid.

	THE HERD: LT1/LT4 temperature gauge anomalous readings
		It has also been noticed that the PCM indicated engine temperature does not always agree with what the gauge shows, leading many to believe that their instrument cluster temperature gauge is inaccurate or faulty.
		The one for the gauge is mounted in the side of one of the cylinder heads, while the PCM sending unit is mounted on the front of the engine directly in the water pump.
		In summary, the temperature differential in the Impala gauge vs. PCM sending units is the fault of the location of the gauge sending unit, and not the gauge or sending unit itself.

	MGCC Z & Farine Magnette Register - Temp gauge
		This means that as the temperature of the engine increases, current flow through the gauge increases and the needle deflects toward H. The temperature-sending unit and gauge in the Magnettes do not operate like this.
		First of all, notice that when the ignition of the Magnette is turned off, the temperature gauge reads maximum H. When the ignition is turned on, the gauge swings down to C and then works its way toward H as the engine warms up.
		When the ignition is first turned on, current flows through the resistance wire, the switch contacts and the temperature gauge, causing the gauge to move to the C position.

		A transmission temperature gauge of your choice an be purchased from most speed shops or The Grand Prix Store.
		Because the gauge is an electrical (unlike a boost gauge, for example, which is mechanical).
		The gauge needs an electrical signal that's not variable (unlike the dimmer you already hooked up - it's not always 12V and varies with a turn of the dimmer dial) so that it converts the signal from the sender into a mechanical movement of the gauge needle.

	Installing a Transmission Temperature Gauge
		Insert the temperature sender, using thread sealer to keep the trans fluid where it belongs.
		Both the sender wire and the gauge ground have to make it into the dashboard (it's important to ground the gauge near the sender; if the ground resistance differs greatly from the sender resistance, the gauge could read funny).
		The gauge power wire needs to get ACC-on power (i.e., it's off when the car is off but it's on with the key in the ACC position).

		The problem is likely that airflow through your radiator fins has been stopped up with fine mud particles your radiator has filtered from the muddy water that passes through it.
		A much better approach is to install a temperature gauge and monitor normal operating temp so that you can identify a problem in the early stage and deal with it before you have to look at a hot light and worry about cooking your engine on the way out.
		This gauge can alert you to a problem before boil-overs occur, or the "Hot" Light comes on and leaves you stranded.
