Subject:Temp II Sensor Querry....
From:Mark Dorm
Date:Sat, 5 May 2001 12:38:29 -0700

Can I check my temp sensor (the one that feeds into the temp guage on/in the
dash) for its color code with draining out the coolant? I want to check what
the mechanic put in, I had both temp II's replaced, along with the  therm.
housing. My engine is running a bit hotter now, so either (A) the temp II
sensor that feeds the gas gauge is the wrong one, (B) they replaced the
thermostat without my consent (I had a cooler one in there, by about 5
degrees), or (C) my radiator is compromised by a leak that is only vapor
escaping along the passenger side front edge of the radiator (I'm not
currently seeing fluid seep out but do see some evidence of corrosion).
