OK so, Since I purchased the car about a year ago, the coolant temp gauge has never reached 12 oclock or the middle mark. It is consistently at about 1/4 or between 1/4 and 1/2. I thought this would make the ecu think I'm running cold and make it run rich, the exhaust is sometimes stinky with fuel smell (though this could be another issues all together)
I've replaced everything in the cooling system except the friggin heater core
i've done the following
waterpump
thermostat
radiator
fan clutch
both coolant temp sensors/senders on the thermostat housing
all coolant hoses
new coolant
the heat blows... extremely hot
Is this a gauge cluster issue? My tach and mpg gauges just recently stopped working, 10 minutes after i was driving the car. If the gauge cluster is in fact athe culprit, and the temp gauge is reading cold, even though the engine is actually nice an hot, will the gauge cluster send that signal to the ecu and make the m20 run rich?
guess i should look at the gauge cluster since everything in the cooling system has been done...
any other idears?
