newbie need help please.....

my 93 astro van coolant temperature gauge does not move up at all. It stays at C all the time. What do I need to change and how? The engine is not overheated. tia

There is a temperature gauge sensor along the driver side cylinder head. Make sure it is connected and is on nice and tight. If the connection is good, replace the temp gauge sender.

where is the temp gauge sender? I know that the temp gauge sensor is right underneath of the transmission dip stick, but I can't find the temp gauge sender. can you show me the pic of its location? thanks

Unfortunately I cannot send you a picture, however I can tell you where it is located. The one in the front is the sensor. That is not the one. The sender is located on the left (driver's side) cylinder head between the spark plugs.
