A temp sensor can be incorrectly grounded due to poor installation practices, such as not securing the ground wire properly or using a faulty connector. Additionally, improper grounding can occur if the sensor is connected to a circuit with a different ground potential, leading to ground loops or voltage differentials. Environmental factors, like corrosion or damage to grounding points, can also impede proper grounding. This can result in inaccurate temperature readings or sensor malfunction.

After replacing a stock L48 motor with a new 350 GM Carte Motor the temp will not read correctly way hot Actual temp is 190 Why?

if it's all the way hot, the wire may be disconnected or shorted to ground, I forget which one makes the temp go high. Try disconnecting the sensor and see what the guage reads....it's based on resitence to ground, and I think if it's disconnected the gauge should read low. If you disconnect and the gauge does not drop, the wire may be "pinched" and grounded.....
