I installed my OHC last weekend and my temp sensor is about 10-20 degrees F off. It will fluctuate just fine, but it reads way hotter than it is outside. The sensor is mounted on frame under passenger side door, shielded from any exhaust piping etc.
-I dont feel like crimping and clamping the wires but if the temp send and feed were accidently switched, would that account for wrong readings?
-YES, I did use the VSS line also, so that has nothing to do with it.
I might just have to get under the truck and switch the 2 temp wires, but I don't have a lot of knowledge with resistors, etc. Maybe someone has a quick answer for me. Maybe a bad sensor? I got it from the yard. I don't know if they go bad easily.
Thanks
