 Does the temp gauge go to COLD with the wire disconnected or does it stay =
at MAX?=C2=A0 If it is the later it is probably a shorted wire to ground.=
=C2=A0 If the former the sender is probably gone.

Hello list,
Still tracking down the gremlins in my freshly restored TR4.=C2=A0 Replaced=
 the
fuel sending unit and the voltage stabilizer and I now have fuel gauge and
temp gauge working.=C2=A0 The curious part is the temp gauge pegged to max =
temp
shortly after startup on fast idle.=C2=A0 I pulled the contact wire from se=
nding
unit in thermo housing and reseated and the same.=C2=A0 Digital temp readin=
g on
coolant in radiator was 165 and then up to 181 at operating temp at normal
idle.=C2=A0 Any thoughts on why temp gauge is going to max?=C2=A0 Bad sendi=
ng unit
(its new)?=C2=A0 Doesn't like later TR4A neg ground voltage stabilizer?=C2=
=A0 Car is
set to neg ground.=C2=A0 62 TR4 CT5212LO.

Thanks,
Jim Henningsen
Ocala, FL=C2=A0=20
