My Gauge is reading low but the data column reads 235F and doesnt move from 235F....car is not running hot

replace ECT sensor, and or check wiring from ECT sensor to ECU. The guage in the cluster reads from a different single wire sensor.

sometimes if there is an air pocket it will read incorrect.. but it sounds like your ECT is buggin out on ya.

so the ECT sensor sends direct to ECU?...either way...doesnt the dash have to get a single from that sensor right wether it be from some other signal wire...

Dude.... you really need to read the posts above once again

There are 2 sensors. The cluster has one sensor. And the ECU uses its own sensor. Different sensors. Different wires all the way. /Allan
