Perhaps--unless the sensor itself is bad.
Check to make sure that the temperature sensor is good. A bad sensor is commonly the cause of the temperature gauge not working.
Loose connection or blown sensor !
It is possible that the temperature gauge has stopped working in a 1992 Tempo due to a blown fuse. It is also possible that the temperature gauge stopped working do to the temperature sensor in the engine having a short.
It sounds like a bad Temperature Sensor or the Gage It's self.
Temp. sensor my have stopped working. Quick and fairly easy fix.
No, it uses a cable.
Try replacing temperature sensor
Temperature coolant sensor...
For a short distance ... problem is, with this sensor not working correctly, chances are that your fuel usage will increase dramatically and the engine will not be running at peak performance.
The rear oxygen sensor looks at the percentage of oxygen in the exhaust after it has passed through the catalytic convertor. The computer compares this with the reading from the front sensor to tell if the catalytic converter is working correctly.
