rb20 swap in our vert - water temp gauge does not work???

[SuicidnS13]

So we've finally got the car up and running. Only known issue now is a slight miss at idle. Im pretty sure that is just spark plug gapping being wrong.

But for some reason my temp gauge does not read at all. It just stays at full cold the whole entire time. We drove it down the block to a gas station to put a few gallons of fresh gas and by the time we got it back home it was still on cold. I tried bleeding the cooling system and I think I have a bad thermostat. Coolant was shooting out of the radiator fill neck intermitently. During this whole procedure the water temp gauge on the cluster just did not budge.

Do I need to change out the water temp sensor to a KA one?

Yes

Stock gauges are not very accurate, I would install a good after market gauge to have a better Idea of the real temp... We will not do a swap with out one....
