Oil Temp Sensor not reading
My oil temp sensor is not working on the Pidash. It shows cold at all times. I disconnected the sensor (which is plumbed into the oil filter canister) to see if it would ohm out. I figure the sensor is somekind of thermocouple, and should show some resistance (a few ohms). All I get is an open circuit.
Can someone with a working oil temp sensor disconnect it, and take a ohm reading? What else should I look at to determine why the sensor is not reading? Suggestions? Any idea on where to purchase these sensors?

Re: Oil Temp Sensor not reading
Not sure how to help you, but I bought a new speed sensor from Gary Jones.

Re: Oil Temp Sensor not reading
My speed sensor is off I think too, and one other of my sensors seems to be a little off base, I wish I had the software to plug into the PI, I have the manual which I downloaded for free but they want you to buy the cable and software.

Re: Oil Temp Sensor not reading
During my driving last weekend, the temp sensor actually worked. It came off of "cold" and read 189 degrees after one session. I didn't get the car all that hot since the temps were only in the 50's for most of the day. Water temps never got over 190 degrees. I kept looking at the oil temp, but I only got the one reading. I'm assuming that it's working properly and that you got to get it over 180 degrees to read anything other than cold.

Re: Oil Temp Sensor not reading
^ Wierd... my oil temp works all the time, but my coolant temp sensor will read COLD until it heats up enough.
