Title: temp light/temp gauge
Post by: SarahD on 08 May 2005, 15:35

flashing now after ive cleaned the engine bay,i didnt soak the engine though it barely got wet cos i cleaned it with a toothbrush purely for the state of the wiring in the car....

ive taken some pics... please note the car was stood for over 2hrs and this started straight away, ive driven about 3 miles then came home and taken these pics....

so yours is a digifant engine?

look for air leaks in all the vacum hoses, clean out the ISV with WD40 and the throttle body butteryfly's and idle screw. spray some wd40 in your leads.

this all cured mine but you might have nocked a vacume hose off aswel :laugh:
so your temp guage is fine now?
