8A-10884 Failure
I believe my 8A-10884 sending unit has gone wonky.
Key off, the unit reads H (as designed) I then put the key on and it drops to C (as designed). I start the engine - it will stay at C for a bit, then hover just over half for a bit, and then max out at H. It will do this will idling in the driveway over the course of 15-20 minutes. No signs of overheating. The last occurrence was with an ambient air temperature of under 40F.
I've done some research and it appears the aftermarket units available today are generally seen as garbage. I've gone though my hoard of parts and also found and won a lot of used units on an online auction site.
Am I on the right track replacing the sending unit? Is there a way to test the non-aftermarket KS sending units to select one from the hoard to use as a replacement?
