Unfortunately the one question I had just turned into two. Here's the first. I just finished crafting a well written question to my brick buddies regarding my faulting engine indicator. I was proof reading before submitting and my hand brushed casually onto the key board of my lap top and the question just disappeared. This happens on approximately 50 percent of the questions I write before I have a chance to submit them. You can imagine how aggravating it is to have this happen. Its like to bad old days 20 years ago when no one really understood how to save files to floppy disks and sometimes you'd just loose your work. Does this happen to anyone else.

OK. Here's my question, again.

For a while the temp indicator has been intermittent and I can't attach this inconsistency to anything particular like rain, or low coolant. Lately the intermittency has stopped and the indicator just doesn't work.

I've read the maintenance section on this problem and the recommendation involves a fairly demanding job including removal of the intake manifold, which I haven't done before, but probably can.

Before I get into something that difficult, is there something simpler I should try. Too often, I've gotten into difficult or two much work by failing to ask the right question and missing something obvious.

If I have to remove the sensor from the engine, I will. I happen to have a spare temp dial indicator, but usually is not the instrument in the dashboard, is it?
