engine temp

[dsm darthvader]

hi everyone, my engine temperature gauge ( on cluster ) doesnt move, it always shows cold i dont know why is that, my water temperature gauge ( aftermarket ) however shows does go up and down. I think that im getting bad gas mileage because of this since the car would think that it needs to warm up and run in open loop mode, please i need help with this ( btw heater works fine)

are both of your coolant temp sensors hooked up correctly on the t-stat housing?

the one circled in the pic is for the cluster gauge, if you look in the background you will see another sensor thats not hooked up, that one goes to the ecu. it has 2 wires.

actually the one that is circled green on the picture is not conected, thank you very much ill check the other ones also

well yeah, the circle is representing which one is the gauge sensor.
i borrowed the picture from another thread.

good luck

my coolant temp sensor is also having some problems.
