Dash temp gauge
From time to time I've noticed the dashboard temperature gauge take approx. 30 secs to 1 minute to begin to climb to operating temperature after a restart when the OAT is real cold and the engine has been run to 'normal' operating temps. I mean the needle lays there, dead. I have ScanGauge II and engine ECT seem to be lower than last winter (177-185 when hot instead of 183-190). This has been real occasional and I'm thinking the sender might be pooched. Ideas?

If you really thing the sending unit is messed up, pull cold soak temps, then swap the ECT and EOT senders and compare new cold soak temps to the old ones. That'll confirm any sensor bias.
