errr... I seem to have a really cool engine.
after getting the head retentioned and 1st service done... the car's temp gauge stays on COLD!!! anyone know what might be wrong??? there's a loom in the engine bay where one wire goes to the block and another wire is hanging...
I don't know where the temp sensor is...
Thanks

| On the bottom of the intake manifold, pretty much underneath the thermostat you should be able to feel the temp sender, just make sure there is a wire (I think its yellow and black) connected to it, if not it should just slide on. |

i had a shitload of problems fixin mine. i pulled apart the dash three times, and changed the actual temp guage, then my lights on the dash started 2 fuk up, and i fixed them using a mix'n'match system, and i noticed that the temp guage moves up 2 the first line, so far, the car has no rego, just got sprayed, so i just let it run at 700revs, for bout 10 mins, and it didn't get past the first line. i wack a brick or some shit on the gas, and let it run bout 3000 revs.
