Subject:what did i do? tempII sender
From:Jason Willenbrock
Date:Wed, 10 Jan 2001 17:26:46 -0500

hey all,
my temp gauge on dash stopped working, although blinking red light works at
test.  so i went and pulled off my temp II sender on thermo housing to
inspect.  maybe i should not have, but i then proceeded to start the van
without sender connected.  it started up but idle rpm shot up to 3000 rpm.
i shut her down and went back to reconnect the sender.  now the van will not
start at all.  i disconnected the tII sendor again and still no start.  what
did i do?  is there a fuse that could have blown?  is the sensor shot?  why
does my gauge no longer work when the van is warming up?  also before all
this happened, with the van idling i pulled around on the temp II sensor and
it made the idle kind of increase.  what's going on here?
thanks
jason
