Re: Mass Air and Temp Gauge 140-160 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be B.C. on  Tue Jul 24 16:13 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Had a problem with a pre-1986 240 with temp gauge doing the same. Found out that the default position, no connection to sender, is full hot. Have a look at the yellow wire that connects to the temp sender. It's a PITA because the sender is located on the block under the intake manifold.

There are two senders, the other one talks to the ECU and its wire is not yellow. The temp compensation board is likely on the fritz, too. There is a post from Randy Starkie in the thread on "close to seeing red" by Bubba, Tuesday 9.49a a.m. about by-passing the temp comp board.

Good Luck,

Bob
