Re: Coolant temp sensor question

I have used them in the past, They rarely/never work correctly. I have used resistors to up the resistance to get the gauge to read half way at 210°F, But the Scale/Sweep is still off.

If it helps, The '98 3-wire CTS puts out (approximately) 1365 ohms at 100°F & 55 ohms at 260°F on the gauge wire.

Never had an issue drilling & tapping the head (3/8" or 1/2" NPT).
