Temperature gauge
I'm going nuts, my 88 F259 came from factory with a water temperature gauge, but whenever I get in the truck the needle is right on the C but the moment I turn the truck on it goes directly to the left of it all the way and there it will stay until the truck is shuts off. I have replaced the temperature sensor by the thermostat is there a different on for the gauge? or what could my problem be?

Ground your sensor wire and see if the gauge pegs out, if so replace sensor, replkace gauge if it doesnt.

My temp guage does the same thing, but does work sometimes. So its called the temperature guage sensor? Is it something that is easy to see, or do I really have to look?

subford,
Thanks again for the link. However, that appears to be a pre-EFI 300-6 in the photo, right? And I cannot seem to find that sensor on the passenger side of the block, rear, which that shot appears to depict. Admittely, I have a shoulder injury which prevents me from crawling around much, but is it possibly located elsewhere on an EFI six?
Thanks,
