It is generally caused by a faulty coolant temp sensor. This is a cheap part that is easy to change, but it does seem to fail very often. **I have a 2001 Monte Carlo and I just went through the same thing! If your fans are running constantly also and even if they aren't....I would definitely look at the cooling system in relation to the thermostat and the coolant temp sensor. I had just flushed my cooling system but never changed anything but the coolant and the hoses and shortly after, the car started not showing any temperature on the gauge and my check engine came on and the fans constantly were running. After I replaced the thermostat and temp sensor, everything is back to normal!! Not sure which one of the two was the actual problem but since they were so close to each other... just didn't make sense in just doing one of them!! Learned my lesson on that years ago!!
what about it?
Yes it can depending on driving conditions.
No
only if running the air.
I have a 1996 Monte Carlo Z34, and I've noticed that the fuel gauge reading will bounce around whenever the car is tipped up or down as the fuel sloshes around in the gas tank.
no power at the sending unit.
i dont speak car!
Try looking on the side of the left head it should be a one wire sendor, ground that wire to the block if the temp gauge maxs out that means the temp gauge is good.
There are 2 and they are located on the intake manifold near the thermostat. The 1 with the single wire is for the gauge. The 2 wire is for the cooling fans and the computor. jd
If the speedo in an 04 Monte Carlo doesnot work it is the stepper motor in the cluster. Go to eBay 04 Monte Carlo cluster stepper motors scroll down and by a set of motors .INSTRUTIONS COME WITH THEM TO REPLACE THEM vERY SIMPLE TO DO SO.
The value of a 1962 Remington Wingmaster 12 gauge model 870TC with a Monte Carlo stock depends on its condition. This gun in excellent in condition is valued between 250.00 and 325.00 as of 2014.
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.
