wild temp gauge

[crisarc]

The cq i have [kv,86], when running the temp gauge goes straight to high reading, and the temp warning light is flashing, meanwhile the car is not overheating, the fan cuts in /out eventually, any ideas as to what sensor ? is goosed

Should be the bottom brown sender on the nearside of the block. The top white one is the oil pressure warning sender ( sounds buzzer ). However check the rad temp sender also on the bottom nearside corner of the rad.

if it was the rad sensor? would the coling fan still work?, also what is the sensor in the top head hose on the joint thingy to the head?
