Hello niconauts. I took out my temp sensor from my S14 and removed the needle to re-solder the board, Now the problem is I don't remember which what the needle was. I have put it in, but seems not to give me the correct temperature. Please help me out. Thanks.

How do you know that it is not giving you the correct temperature?

I have run the car until it reaches the normal operating temperature and it does not go up at all. The only thing I want to know is what position shall the needle go. I took it out to fix it, but don't remember the position.

Or if anybody has a S14 SE and could take out the cluster and the front plastic shield, than after move the temp needle delicately to see where it tops off. That way I could get an idea where it hits the top/stop. I will really appreciate it.
