Hi Everyone,
Thanks for reading. Just for background, the temp gage in my 90 SC has been reading around high end of the M in NORM at idle, so I replaced the t-stat, sending unit, temp sensor, radiator, hoses, a GM air dam and of course flush and fill, and the temp has not gone down at all. Here are the questions
1. I noticed that the wire from the sending unit is missing the connector or boot. Does that mean I could be reading the air temp in the engine compartment if the wire is exposed?
2. I also checked my pulley assemblies and according to the arrow, my belts could be bad, but they are new and tight. I don't get any belt slippage. Is my water pump not flowing enough at idle?
I will try to get pics.
Thanks for any advice.
