water temperature. 180-220 degrees
engine coolant
Bad gauge or defective coolant temperature sensor
Low Coolant or faulty gauge
Your engine coolant temperature gauge has a sensor ( there is also a engine coolant temperature sensor that is used for the computer / PCM )
The temperature sender (the sensor that sends the temperature signal to the gauge) has to be immersed in coolant in order to correctly read the temperature. If the coolant is so low that it leaves the sender high and dry, the temperature shown on the gauge will not be a true reading. if the sensor is not immersed in the coolant, there a big chance it wont read at all...
seriously? it tells you what temperature you engine coolant/antifreeze is. that is how your gauge on the dash knows what your temperature is at.
The 1995 Lincoln Town Car coolant temperature gauge sensor can be found on the front of the engine. The coolant temperature sensor will be a few inches above the thermostat housing.
Yes, coolant leaks can cause the temperature gauge to act erratically. When coolant levels drop due to a leak, the engine may overheat, leading to fluctuations in temperature readings. Additionally, air pockets can form in the cooling system, disrupting the flow of coolant and causing inconsistent temperature readings on the gauge. It's important to address coolant leaks promptly to maintain proper engine temperature and function.
The temperature gauge in an Alfa Romeo, like in most vehicles, operates by monitoring the engine coolant temperature. It uses a temperature sensor located near the engine or in the coolant passage, which detects the coolant's temperature as it circulates. The sensor sends this information to the gauge on the dashboard, where it displays the temperature level, helping the driver monitor the engine's operating condition. If the engine overheats, the gauge will indicate a high temperature, prompting the driver to take action to prevent damage.
There is a coolant temperature sensor and a temperature gauge sensor. the coolant sensor is located on driver side of the cylinder head. screws right into it, and the temperature gauge sensor is on the front side of the cylinder head right under the distributor. hope this helps
Temperature.
20AWG is the norm.
