Re: temp guage problem
What do you mean "quit working"? They drop to zero, stay in the same place, erratic?
Sounds more like a sensor problem, than a gauge since the fans are kicking on. I would check the connectors to the temp sensor, and then check sensor itself by checking the resistance (multimeter ~$10 for an uber cheepo). It would help if you knew what the temperature of the fluid was at the time you checked it, so a thermometer may come in handy, but a ballpark estimate should do if it's really wack.
Any codes?

Re: temp guage problem
only code is for the lack of 02 sensor....by quit working i mean fall to 0 and stay thier. temp is acutally at 180 or so when it says its at 0. only reaon i doubted a sensor was becuase i just swapped motors, and i would think sensors, and it has done it on both motors.

Re: temp guage problem
maybe you could feed (output) a voltage to the ECT input and see if your gauge changes, if it doesnt its the wiring or computer or your gauge2k2 camaro, K&N, SLP whisper lid, Konis, AEM, HP Tuners, Angel eyes/Halos, CF SS ram air hood, 4.10s, Zexel Torsen, UMI SFCs, CrossFire, BFGs, Gatorback, Catco, Flows, and TLC!
