i think i'm changing parts stores again tomorrow... auto zone sucks, too bad though, they had a little hottie working the counter... maybe start with napa now... not much else around besides advanced auto parts, and pep boys, but i don't like them either

You are welcome. Hopefully it is just the sending unit/temperature switch, and not the guage, or the wiring to it.

No, if there is a hottie working at Autozone, by all means keep going there. Just get used to using the online parts catalog, and go in with a list of part numbers.

it is possible that i moved something on accident the other day when changing the pcv and the vacuum hose its connected to... hopefully its not that big of a deal though, i'm going to change the temp sensor and thermostat as soon as the weather breaks and see what happens

fkaster..at the very least you can follow the directions for testing the sending unit from that link and check the values on the chart to see if your sending unit is good. If not, I would first pull the thermostat..as that is likely the next easiest, but if it's not that, I am willing to bet it's the gauge.
Then you can return the sensor they sold you. They actually told you the computer didn't list a sending unit???.....sheeesh

the problem did start after i did the pcv change... i'm pretty sure i didn't move anything though... the pcv is in the back toward the fire wall and i only had to move one vac line a little bit to pull the pcv vac line off... i'll look though. your ex used to be a parts counter person... my wife used to swing on poles and have retards like us actually thinking she was using the money for college... oh well... she's way to hot for me but lets hope she doesn't notice...

On the upside...I've got a new honey...she's much younger and better looking than me.. a much better person and I love her.....and I'm gonna be a daddy again.

yeah... i'll try to keep you posted... not sure if its going to happen tomorrow either, the news just said its going to be cold and really windy tomorrow... my hands are pretty useless in the cold. I've broken the right one more than twenty times and the lefts about half that... so the cold locks them up pretty good
