I m sure I have  something backwards.. any input would be great.. tomorrow morning I m going to undo the probe from the engine and get a hot boiling pot of water from my house and bring it by my car and see if the probe works or not .. than I should know if there is a bend or kink in the line ?   or maybe being the engine hasn't been run in a couple weeks the engines cold and will take time for the water temp gauge to read ?   any input will be great...     whoever said putting in gauges in these cars bending down is def a pita...</p></blockquote><p></p>
