the battery is dead right now


Chris, you need a good battery before you can start to troubleshoot anything else.

and nope never found where that temp sensor goes.


You also need to have all the sensors hooked up...

Take an inspection mirror (or look at the bottom of the intake manifold from inside the fender well) and you should be able to see the sensor on the underside of the manifold. I think there are actually 2 sensors, one tells the computer the temp, the other runs the gauge.

I don't intend this in a mean way, but, you really need to have all 52 cards in the deck before you can play solitaire! You'll never win if you are missing just one card.

and you didn't tell me what the dash lights are doing when you start it...

Good Luck!
