temperature gauge

Gday everyone I would just like some ways of troubleshooting my temperature gauge (1979 fj45 2f) it does not move at all along with my oil pressure and alternator gauge. So far the only trouble shooting I have done is removing the temp sender, visual inspection (looked good) checked resistance...

Hey guys, So I live in Florida and my temperature gauge always warms up in what I believe to be a normal range. I’m traveling up in the northern states atm where the temperatures are around 32f (0c) to 40f (4c). And my temperature gauge will barely rise driving around town unless I hop on the...

Hi, I've had an 1985 FJ60 for a while now. I'm trying to keep to old girl running reliably. When I first got her I changed the fluids, hoses, belts, water-pump just because they were "unknowns" and easy to do. So I take full responsibility for any and all screwups :) I suspect that my thermostat...

My temp gauge needle has been reading a click or two above perfectly horizontal. Do we refer to perfectly horizontal as 3 o'clock or 90 degrees (heading, not temp)? To be precise, 5-6 clicks above the thick bar at Cold. My oil pressure has beed reading a click or two below 3 0'clock/90 degrees...

Hi I recently brought a 1989 HJ75 and am experiencing a temperature gauge issue. All other gauges work perfectly but the temperature gauge reads low, I have replaced the sender and know the car is running at the right temperature, but the gauge only reads cold when it is actually at operating...

whenever i drive my 60 the temp gauge shoots straight past the red, it used to only do it when the car was warmed up but now all the time. ive read the other posts, ive cleaned the terminals, ive checked the thermostat sensor, checked for a bad ground and its none of those. i just replaced the...

I have a 74fj40. The amp gauge works, as does the speedo, and the mileage counter. However, the oil press gauge, fuel gauge, engine temp gauge aren't working. I'm guessing a bad ground perhaps or maybe something got knocked loose back there since an old cable actuated winch was installed with...

hi all Would b my first post here.. In my part of the world the temps really going high and it has started showing some effect on my LJ78 with a swapped 1KZ .. Its running the same RADIATOR that of 2L engine.. Just wana know if I need to change the Radiator as the engine has gone big?

TempGauge 101 Attached to this thread (temperature-calibration.pdf) is some information about testing and calibrating the stock FJ60/62 temperature gauge and sender. The method described is fairly well known and can be found elsewhere on the Internet if you search around. I'm not breaking any...

I thought I'd share a discovery I made that was revealed by some testing. I've had suspicions about this for a long time. When the coolant is drained and replaced on a 2F, an air pocket gets created inside the sender's adapter fitting which prevents the sender from being fully immersed in the...
