its strange because with the sensor disconnected the light flashes for about 30 sec and then stays off, with it connected the light flashes all the time.I thought i would try my spare set of clocks , unfortunately the light on those dont work at all.why would it flash and go off with it disconnected .If you disconnect on other cars it flashes all the time , do you think it could be wiring
thx

thats normal, it comes on for a few secs and goes off so you know the light is working. either the new sensor is bust or you have a wiring problem, but if it was a short it should flash all the time rather than just with the sensor connected  :undecided:
try jumping the 2 pins together, does the gauge shoot up to max?

if you have a 90spec car it'll need single plug clocks unfortunatly. does sound like the clocks have gone, bit of a strange problem!  maybe go over the engine with a fine toothed comb looking for any snapped earth cables,there should be at least 1 to rocker/side of head p[lus a chunky earth from the coil mounting bolt
