Bah yet another little issue today i noticed my Temprature gauge wasnt working what could be the cause of this?

 

First thing to check would be to make sure that the coolant temp sending unit wire is still attached. It's located on the driver's side of the motor, in between the #1 and #3 spark plugs.

 

what he said,and if the wire is on there...get another temperature sender. like 5-6 bux at ur local parts store

 

The wire did fall out imma jack up the car tomorrow and put it back in thanks.

 

i can get to mine from the top...

 

If you have to jack up the car to service whatever you are seeing, you're looking at the wrong part.

 

The temp sender is right between the #1 and #3 spark plugs with that yellowish plastic connector. Might be a little harder to get to with stock manifolds.

my temp gauge wasn't working either so after reading this post i checked mine. the wire was hanging loose and it looks like the sensor got broken or burnt off. so i've got the sensor broken off and stuck in the block. anybody got any BRIGHT ideas on how the get the broken piece out.

 

Vise grips? Your sensor is toast already and if it is that broken off that you cannot get a socket on it, might as well go with the vise grips.
