Thanks!

There are two. One on the water pump underneath it and the other on the driver side head, you might have messed up the one on the head while putting the headers on, or maybe the one on the water pump while doing the cam. Does it read spiratically, or never? When I first started mine up it wouldnt read for a minute then it would, you sure you bled the coolant system completely, if there are air pockets it could be reading the temp of the air in there.

 

The dash gauge is fed by the sensor in the drivers side head, between Cyls #1 and #3.

 

Learn something new everyday, thanks injuneer.

 

yeah the guages doesn't move @ all
anyone got a pic of what it looks like?

 

could this also cause my check engine light to come on?

 

Is the low coolant light on? It could be causing the SES light to come on though.

 

actually it does come on once in a while then goes off

 

I already asked this but you might not have seen it, are you sure you bled the system all the way, that could very well be your problem.

 

yep i bled the system
i was having problems w/ the low coolant light before too maybe thats just a bad sensor, but i never got the check engine light before when it came on

 

Id replace that sensor on the head, its right above the plugs on the driver head, inbetween 1 and 3. It shouldnt be too expensive, check out shoeboxes part # and price list

 

The low coolant switch is only wired to the idiot light on the dash, not through the PCM. No SES light for "low coolant".
