Prwa101 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 So from what I've understood is if I take the ej temp gage wire and hook it onto the ea temp gage wire pin 13. It should just read really low right above the c?.... It's reading all the way up above the red and above... Unhook the wire and it'll drop, hook it back up and it'll climb... Can't figure it out, I got sole 270 resistors to do it that way but its not even working.... It's an 88 gl ea82t if that makes a diffeence? Or was ok sappose to cut the wire going to the Ecu from the temp gage?... I'm pretty lost.... I know I'm missing Something..... Any thing would help me out... My fiancés loyale has the tick of death and I don't know how much longer its going to last, so I need this one compleat so I can drive it and give her my forester....

GeneralDisorder Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The EA temp gauge wire goes to the EJ temp sending unit on the coolant cross-over. The one with the male spade. No ecu wires are involved whatsoever. It's purely a gauge and a sending unit - higher resistance = lower temp. If its reading full hot then you have the wire to the gauge shorted to ground.

Prwa101 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 The ej wire I have Hooked up to the temp gage right now is red and green... That's the wire that says "to temp gage" or is that the wrong wire for that...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prwa101 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Just saw this picture..... The brown plug, two wire as shown on the diagram.... That's for the Ecu... Gah.... The silver male one is the one I should have need using....... Thanks GD! I think I got it... We'll see when I get home... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
