My gauge isnt getting a temp reading at all, the temp sensor is brand new too, I replaced the old broken one 3 weeks ago, and the new one worked great up till a few days ago... Anyone have any ideas?

Unplug wire to sensor, turn on ignition, touch end of wire to metal, gage should go to hot. If it does problem is in sending unit. if not problem is in gage or wiring.

The yellow and black wire or just one?

The sensor you are referring to is for the computor. The temp sending unit has one green wire and is located on the side of the left cyl. head.
