Testing Coolant Temp Sensor
I'm getting senile and forget. If you take an ect sensor and put it in a vice, put a heat gun on it, what is the range of ohms from cold to hot you should get?
Thanks

Hard one to call since the input required by each gauge can vary. . I'm trying to hurry I have to leave but these should get you close! I'll check back later tonight. What year is the car?
100 - 315 ohms
first mark 119
220 - 89 ohms
2nd mark 61 ohm
280 39 ohms.

It's actually the original temp sensor that came out of a 69 Camaro Z/28 302.
When the car was warmed up I was getting around 31-32 at the sensor and as it cooled a little while later around 45ohm. The temp gauge isn't working though so I wanted to make sure it wasn't the sensor before pulling it.
Thanks
