I have been having some problems with carbon build up and a faulty temperature sending unit.
I took the temp sensor out and tested it, I read 200 Ohms at around room temp, and then when I heated it up it went to about 1K ohms. It fluctuated and it was hard to get a constant reading. I have a dead temp sensor on the other half of the engine and it is dead, it reads 100 ohms when its hot and cold.
If my sensor is still good , then how come my gauge doesn't rise when the engine is warm?
I think the sensor is not within spec, but I don't know what the specs are for a temp. unit for this engine, do you happen to know?
