my running temp is just above the first mark on my temp gauge. i flushed my coolant recently and im pretty sure i got all of the air out. my heater is working fine and blowing out hot air so i dont think it could be the water pump. im thinking its the thermostat. anybody know what it could be?

 

Could be a bad water temp sending unit (or it's got a dirty connection) if your heater is hot. If the t-stat were bad as in opening too soon, you wouldn't have good heat.

 

^^This...

 

i really dont feel like draining it again lol. it was a pain the first time. where is the connection, and how would i go about cleaning it

 

This is the sensor right?

 

On your 95, I'm not sure. Look at the driver's side rear of the head first.

 

I believe that's your electric fan SENSOR. You're looking for your temp gauge SENDER. If there is not a single wire connector on a sender at the driver's side rear of the head, then the one in the pic MIGHT be a combination sender/sensor. Look at the back of the head first!!

 

I think thays it. In the middle of the pic.

 

Yep. Unplug the connector, spray it out with contact cleaner and do the same on the sender. Plug it back in and see what happens.

 

Ill take it for a drive and then let you guys know if it reaches normal temp

 

Nope didn't go up. Still wants to stay there

 

First picture is the sending unit...it could be going out, and that would splain your issues...

 

yeah figured im on the phone with the dealership right now. not for 66 dollars lol. guess ill get it online. i dont think napa would have it.

 

Never hurts to call napa, advanced and autozone sells them

 

Yeah napa has it but the connector part was wrong. Ill have to get it online
