are you using a sierra sender?

are you sure its getting hot enough?

do you have a decent earth from body to engine?

does your fuel gauge read right?

does the gauge read hot if you short the wire to the manifold?

I would say your body to battery earth is shot, thats makes the gauges read funny

and yeah vitara senders read low in a sierra, get a sierra sender or better yet a quality aftermarket gauge

hey royce / joe i shorted the temp cable to the motor and it went right up to hot so that means that it has to be the wrong sender for that gauge right?

Post subject:  Re: temp gauge prob's

it means the gauge and regulator are probably close enough to working right
