I think the one in the head is the one that feeds the PCM and the one in the water pump feeds the temp guage. I may have this reversed. But since rebuilding the motor I can' seem to get my temps above 180 on a hotttt day and lately with the cooler temps here I can't get it much over 160 and I also have no heat.
I did install both a new radiator and a new ac condenser. Also had the fans programmed to come on earlier and installed a 160 thermostat. Is it possible the thermostat is stuck open?
I love the low coolant temps in the summer but damn its getting cold now.
Get a little IR/laser thermometer. $20 at Harbor Freight.
Find drafts, weak insulation spaces, home HVAC duct temps, dog's nose, everything. And heater core lines variation too uh huh.
