[sackerius]

alright...

heres a good one for all u techs out there.

i have 88 civic lx, swapped with b15b7 out of 94 dx...

my temp guage just went out...

the night before, i was low on coolant and my engine heated up pretty good.... but i saved her, got it home and refilled everything up and changed out a hose....

now i have no clue on electrical, or sensons (when i searched the forum)....

so anyone help?

So does your car have a overheating problem? It could be your guage or it could be yoru sensor

the temp sensor is located under the distributor, has a green plug with one wire on it. you can test it with a ohm meter. start with the engine cold, have the ground wire from your meter to metal on the block. put you positive wire on the pin inside the connector. put the meter on OHMS. the reading should chang as the engine warms up. if the reading does change, you have a bad sensor. must be replaced. I would recommend an AUTOMETER water temp guage. It is more acurate. I did that when my sensor went bad, I like it much better.
