What causes the temp gauge to peg Hot?
When my car is running, the temp gauge goes and pegs hot, even if the car is cold. I dont know if its a coincidence that I just changed my plugs or what, but Id like the gauge to read proper. What would cause it to peg hot??
What does the temperature gauge do when you turn on the engine cold?
What does the temperature gauge do when you turn on the engine cold. and ground with a cold engine and report back. IIRC (check the colors, be careful, there’s also a light green with a red stripe wire in there). And let us know which wire it was, the one closest to the block or farthest from the block (it’s NOT the middle one).
What’s the best way to check the oil temperature?
It won’t do any good and is only putting premature wear on the car. The best way to get a car’s oil temperature up is to simply drive it around for a few minutes. Ideally you’d have an oil temperature gauge to tell you when it’s at operating temperature – and oil pressure gauge (lower pressure) would also tell you this information.
What to do if your temp gauge goes to zero?
Turn the ignition on, but don’t start the car. Give what you say above, the temp gauge should read half. Now unplug the sensor. If you have a bad sensor, the gauge will go to zero. the gauge will stay the same. Well the FSM points just like you said to the passenger upper rear for this sensor.

What causes a temp gauge to go nuts?
If that’s the plug in the top picture, you likely have a wiring fault somewhere between the instrument cluster and that plug. It looks like that wire runs a short distance forward and joins a fat (1″ OD) cable then runs in the fat cable back to the firewall, across behind the engine, then through the firewall.
What happens to the temp gauge when you turn the key on?
I mentioned it up above but when I turn the key on with the car sitting overnight, the needle goes to 3/8th’s the way up the gauge, then when I disconnect the sensor (key still on the whole time) the gauge doesnt change at all, stays in the same position.
What kind of engine does a 2005 International 9200 have?
I have a 2005 International 9200 with a Cummins ISM engine. The engine runs fine but the truck has developed an instrument panel problem. The water temp, oil pressure warning lights flash, the tachometer and speedometer, the voltmeter, oil pressure gauge and water temperature gauge, each pin to the right side of each gauge.
What should the temp gauge be on my car?
It should be very high. The connector under the dash is a gray 16-pin whic will be very close to a brown 24-pin and a white 18-pin. Don’t even think about turning the ignition on with
