Why Temp gauge is in the red even after cool?
Defective temperature gauge or defective temperature sensor?
Why is the gauge stays on cold and does not move up even the engine has sufficiently warmed up?
The temp sending unit or gauge is bad, probably the sending unit.
Why would the temp gauge show hot even though its not on a 2001 Pontiac Aztek changed thermostat intake gasket and temp sensor?
thermostat may be sticking and that cause the gauge to show hot, have it checked soon, you could be headed for bigger problems
Why does the temp gauge read low when the motor is warm and the thermostat is open?
The thermostat is probably stuck open, even when the engine is cold.
What would cause the temp gauge on a 2000 Nissan Altima to raise to hot and car is not overheating gauge just moves up and down and the fan comes on?
A faulty thermostat might cause the temp gauge on the 2000 Nissan Altima to raise to hot when the car is not overheating. A faulty thermostat can cause the gauge to move up and down and might even turn the fan on.
Lo colant hi temp shows flashing even thow i have enough coolant in the reservoir in my SW2 1997?
Do a search for your ects sensor. I am trying to find out how many temp gauge sensors are on the car right now myself. I am having the same problem. I am going to change the temp gauge sensor(s) and thermostat and flush the radiator.
Sending unit is new so why does water temp gauge not work on 99 marquis?
sounds like your temp switch is bad you will need to replace it. Maybe the thermostat is stuck open and the engine never heats up. <- even if the thermostat is stuck open the temp gauge would register heat it would just take longer for the engine to heat up for it to register.
Why would your 99 Jetta act as if it didnt have a thermostat when there is a new one installed?
Many things can cause this problem. The Jetta needs to be seen by a licensed mechanic to determine the exact cause.Assuming you are not getting much heat from the heater, the heater core may be plugged or the temp blend door mechanism is faulty. With the engine warmed up and running, open the hood, locate both heater hoses, feel each heater hose with your hand, if both hoses are hot you probably have a temp blend door problem. If one hose is hot and the other is only warm you probably have a plugged heater core.**seems to have proper heat from heater even when the temp gauge is low. The hoses I checked and both were warm. when I let it idle it gets up to temp but as soon as I start moving the temp jumps way down. Any more ideas?? ***Borrow an infared temp gun and measure the temp at the thermostat housing. See if it matches what the vehicles temp gauge says. I'm thinking maybe the temp sending unit is faulty. If the vehicle's temp gauge reads low and the heater is putting out good heat my guess is the gauge is off. Hope this helps.
Would the temperature sensor cause the coolant temperature dial to always stay in the middle even with the engine cold and where is it located on a 1996 Mitsubishi Galant?
Unplug the coolant temp sensor and check what the gauge says...If it falls to cold, then the sensor is at fault. If it stays, then the gauge is either faulty or the contact points on the back of the gauges need to be cleaned...

My temperature gauge on the dash is not reading what can the problem be?
If its only the temp gauge there could be a few factors. I had an '01 Impala 3.4. Once the code came up for the temp sensor. Changed it. Then the fans stayed on after engine shut off. Changed the relays. Then the temp gauge acted erractically. Belive it or not, I changed the thermostat, and blead the system. Then everything worked fine. Even the mpg increased on the highway! I read about this somewhere else. It did work. Many people would tell you to change the BCM. But if its only ONE gauge, that would fix for a while then go back to problem. Remember to bleed the system. These are little stems on top of hard lines.
Why would the temp gauge rise to max temp on a BMW 318i se e46 even though the car is cool and return to normal after a while but cause sluggish behavior even after replacing the thermo sensor?
A malfunctioning thermostat will do what you describe if it is opening at at very high temperature, at some point it probably will quit opening at all.
99 Cavalier Coolant Fan not turning on itself changed fuses relays temp sensor thermostat new coolant temp gauge works unplug temp sensor fan comes on plug temp sensor fan still on?
Even a new coolant temperature sensor may be damaged by over temperature. Thermistors also drift off calibration with age. Check for corrosion on the connector.
