KA Temp gauge

[cjones450]

Ok guys I got a question iv had my car for about 3 months, its always ran very cold on half on the temp gauge and last night I was headed home and It was getting hot. So I stopped to check and everything was fine but I did notice the temp gauge sensor plug was loose (spinning inside the sensor), the gauge would flucuate when you wiggeled it, so I replaced it today and it is still reading hot. But did notice that when you un-plug the sensor and reconnect it is goes back to half. It is a stock ka with electric fans anyone have any ideas?

Punctuation. Learn where to use it so people can read your post. right now all I see is "aaasskggmririsnflalptooeomdsnhannneetagbdbgfgiofia lleeogjnbabct"

Fixed somewhat just for you.

Better. It's a new sender, the single prong one? If it's the correct one (S13 and S14 are different) and it goes hot automatically on a cold engine, the gauge is damaged. If it normally heats up as it should but then goes to hot, you've got an air pocket in the cooling system.

No the gauge stays half until like 30 min after driving, but when i disconnect the sensor it goes back half. Im stuck so im gunna but a brand new sensor, both sensors i tryed are off an s13 one was auto one was manual
