Re: Coolant Temp sensor (16V v 8V)

["Tom Osbon" <tosbon@cox.rr.com>]

I had a similar problem, turned out to be water pump and t-stat, after car
warms up or temp gauge is half way reach down and grab lower radiator hose,
if the suckers cold, time for pump and t-stat, if its warm, upper sensor on
radiator may be toast.
