1996 Corsica temp Gauge
I have a 1996 Chevy Corsica 3.1, and the temp gauge is not working, it was until I changed the upper and lower intake manifold gaskets, the Coolant temp sensor is new, the cooling fan works as it should. I checked the wiring from the sensor to the harness connection near the alternator, all three wires had continuity. I am out of ideas. Thanks

Do you have the old sensor? Why did you replace it?
Anyways - unplug the new sensor, plug in the old one. (Don't install). Does it work? You might to dip the old sensor in some hot boiling water I guess to get a reading.
Well, that's just an odd idea I had.

I ordered and received two factory service manuals off of ebay, using the test procedure outlined in the manual, gauge tested OK, appears to be a bad connector and or wiring problem, I may have damaged something when I removed the plenum, and yes I connected the old sensor, no joy, so, I am going to get a new connector and run new wires to the harness connector near the alternator. Thank you for your reply.
