Temp gauge going buzzerk!Wishmaster 03-12-2004, 08:30 AM On my way home yesterday from getting my car dyno'ed...the temp gauge was fine..then all of a sudden it started spiking from bottom to top pegging out.....and was act crazy...just going buzzerk.....and it wouldnt stop.....what could it be? the gauge, temp sensor? what? why would it do that? what broke? unvc92camarors 03-12-2004, 09:03 AM well, my radiator went out on my v6 and it started stalling, then the temp guage would rise and fall with ease that might have something to do with it of course, there was only a crack in the radiator but i needed a whole new one anyways check for any coolant leaks is my advice Irocvette355 03-12-2004, 06:32 PM Either the wire is loose, or the sending unit is going bad... Get a friend to sit in the car and move the wire around a bit...see if it jumps around. (with the ignition on, or running) If nothing happens its probably the sensor. O BTW the sensor is located on the drivers side cylinder head.
