oil temp gauge
 

okay so i noticed my oil temp was reading as cold as possible i looked under my car and there is a plug hanging down unplugged i tried to get under and look at it and see where it went i was thinking it would be on the oil pump. and my chiltons manual didnt really help or i cant find it. so i was hoping i could get some help from you guys with turbo eclipse ( i drive a 97gst ) thanks ahead of time

is no one on? its still early?

RE: oil temp gauge
 

well first of all its kinda improtant to note that there is no such thing as a stock oil "temperature" gauge. There is only a water temperature guage and an oil pressure guage. ;)

So please clarify which one you are talking about

RE: oil temp gauge
 

its the water temp then i guess the one next to the stock boost gauge. i think its the water temp isnt it?

RE: oil temp gauge
 

Oh my, no, water temp is on the very right next to the fuel gauge. The one next to the boost gauge is oil pressure

RE: oil temp gauge
 

okay well if its oil pressure thats fine i wasnt sure my gf has my car but where would that connect to the oil pump or some where on the block? is my after market oil pressure gauge in a different spot because it is working. im all confused

RE: oil temp gauge
 

yea well its confusing to me too cuz your really not making any sense. What kinda aftermarket guage do you have because i dont know how you confuse an aftermarket as an oil temp, cuz usually they say right on it.

RE: oil temp gauge
 

well i figured it was okay becausemy aftermarket oil pressure gauge is still working is what i was trying to say and the stock one is not working. so i am just trying to figure out wherethe stock oil pressureplugs intoon the engine
