I am trying to locate the oil temp sensor in the fsm. Mine is reading 320 degrees. I think mine is bad.
Thanks

I have the oil temp sensor out. Is there any way to test it. I am assuming that is bad because of the reading I get (320f).
Also can I get the part. I am told that it was discontinued by G M .
Thanks
