temperature gauge
Discussion
The temp sender is the middle (and smallest) of the three senders in a housing just in front of the plenum.
You didn't say what your gauge is showing, but basically if the gauge is showing a full scale deflection it is probably a wire or bad connection problem (open circuit)
If your gauge is at zero then it could be either a grounded wire or a short in the sender.
A multi-meter test of the sender should show a much greater resistance to earth when engine is cold and a lower resistance when engine is hot.
