temp gauge not working

Hey guys. Great board you got here!

I've got a question- my temp gauge is not working, it just sits on the bottom peg. Once in a while (rarely) while driving the needle will jump up to the normal half way point, but then when I shut the car off, it is non-functional again. I replaced the temp sensor on the top pass. side of the engine but it did not help.

Tia,
JP

my gauge was doing something similar, i just disconnected the battery let it sit for a littel while hooked it back up and the gauge started working again.

The temp sending unit broke off, it happened to mine when I replaced my fuel injectors. Its only a $12 part, its in front of the water temp sensor.
