Install Temp Gauge

J0rn3z · February 18th, 2009, 01:22 PM

My car had an autometer temp gauge somewhat installed when i got it but its not reading, The Capillary tubing is mounted in my intake and i didnt find any kinks, But i dont know if the electricals are hooked up right. So where should it be tapped into?

well if its a mechanical gauge then the only elctronics that will be there is the light to light up the gauge.

take it off the intake and check and see if theres any corrosion or anything like that. doesnt it have a black sheath around the internal tubing? there might be a crimp that you cant see because of that.
