240 temp gauge intermittent
The temp gauge is dead 98% of the time, all the way down below the first markings of temperature. Every once in awhile I will notice the gauge is working briefly and seems to be perfectly accurate during those brief moments.
I replace the temp coolant sender to the gauge (replaced the other one too that communicates with the ECU). Now what?
Thanks

Or - go to a junk yard and pull another one from there. That way you have a spare cluster to mess with. Be careful though - if you get a cluster from a pre 1990 model, your cruise wont work and SRS will throw an error (since those cars didnt come with airbags or cruise). My suggestion - if your junkyard only has a pre-1990 models, get the cluster, but swap out useful parts from it into your original cluster (speedo will have about 4 mph error if you ever swap it). Rest of the stuff is the same. That way none of the sensors get upset.
How did I find out: I went to town trying to figure out why the SRS light came on and my cruise didnt work. I had the exact same problem. Did it on my '91 244
