Is there another coolant sensor that would affect the operation of the dashboard temperature gage on a 1991 Chevy K1500 305 the temp sensor next to the thermostat housing has already been replaced?

There is a sensor located between exhaust manifold #1 and #3
(drivers side). This sensor controls the temp gage in a cars
interior.

Is it normal for a 2000 Chevy Blazer temp gauge to go to three quarters when driving in traffic even after the thermostat was replaced?
depends on what temperature thermostat was put in. come in
different temperature ratings.
Answer
If you installed the correct OEM thermostat, and did not install it
upside down, then no, this is not normal. You should flush the
entire system, check the water pump for proper operation, clean the
radiator external fins, check the operation of the electric cooling
fan, (If Equipped), and make sure you bleed the system to remove
any trapped air.

When the thermostat and radiator were replaced, coolant could
have dripped into an electrical connector or a sensor could be
disconnected or damaged. Check the temperature sensor and
crankshaft sensors first.
Asked in Thermostats
How do you know when you have bad thermostat?
If your engine takes a much longer time for the thermostat heat
guage to reach its required level of operatiing temperature then
the thermostat may be stuck in the open position which means that
it will need to be replaced.

Be careful there is a temperature coolant switch mounted next to

If the car is overheating or if the temperature gauge is not
coming up to normal operating temperature which is normally half
way up the gauge then the thermostat needs replacing. As the water
pump should be replaced at the same time as the cam belt every
90,000 miles, you should also replace the thermostat and
coolant.

Why does your 95 jeep Cherokee stop when the temp gauge reaches half way vertical and only start again when cooled down to below the quarter mark?
You have a bad temperature sensor probably over the thermostat.
It needs to be replaced. The computer thinks your car has
overheated when it has not. The temperature sensor that goes to
your computer is different from the one that goes to the gage on
your dashboard.

My temp gaugebmw 318 e46 rises for no reason can anyone help already replaced the thermo sensor?
Does that mean that you replaced the thermostat AND the sensor?
If not, you really need to replace the thermostat. A sticking
thermostat can cause temperature swings and potentially overheat
the engine. BTW, BMW engines tend to have serious problems when
they overheat. Don't let it overheat or you might be buying a new
engine.
Asked in Buick Roadmaster
1993 roadmaster overheats and then cools down?
I would guess that the thermostat is not opening at the proper
temperature. Once it does open proper circulation brings it down to
the correct operating temperature. I think it should be
replaced.

Asked in Ford Tempo, Thermostats, First Ladies
Why does a ford temp overheat when you first start it?
Most of the time it is because the thermostat has gone bad and
is not opening at the proper temperature. Cure: replace thermostat.
If the thermostat has been replaced, flush the radiator. Buildup of
residue in the bottom of the radiato0r will cause overheating, but
it is maintained over heating, not temporary.
Asked in Ford Escort LX
How can you tell which component is badthermastat or relay switch for a 1992 ford escort lx?
The thermostat or the fan relay for the radiator fan. If the
temperature gauge shows the engine to be hot the fan should be on.
If the fan isn't on you can check it by removing the electrical
connection to the temperature sensor. If the fan is all right it
will come on by default when the wiring connector is removed.
Usually it is the thermostat which needs to be replaced when the
engine is overheating. If the top hose going to the radiator isn't
hot when the temperature gauge shows the engine to be hot the
thermostat is stuck shut and should be replaced.
Asked in Ford Escort, Thermostats, Ford Escort LX
How can you tell if thermostat on 95 ford escort bad?
If the engine is taking a long time to warm up or the gauge
registers low heat the thermostat probably is stuck open and needs
to be replaced.
If the engine runs hot check the temperature of the upper
radiator hose. If it's not hot the thermostat is stuck closed and
should be replaced. If the upper hose is hot it means the
thermostat is open and working. Cooling problem could be restricted
radiator.
Asked in Radiators, Cadillac, Thermostats, Ford Escort ZX2
What should be done next to a 1996 Cadillac Seville on which the temperature gauge continuously rises but the radiator has been replaced?
If you haven't replaced the thermostat, now would be a good
time. If that's not it, check the impellers on the water pump. The
temperature gage is supposed to rise to around mid level. If you
mean it is getting hot, then Replace the thermostat. Also check the
operation of the cooling fan and the water pump. Another
possibility is that the cooling system needs to be bled. There may
be air trapped in the system. another thing we often see with this
era northstar is blown head gaskets.
