Installed my temperature sensors

[Andrew Duane USG/PE <duane@zk3.dec.com>]

I finally got around to installing the multi-function temp.
sensors in both of my cars. Angela's 90Q20V had a completely
dead gauge, and my 100Q had a 50/50 gauge.

They install quite easily; undo the top of the radiator hose
that blocks access to it, unsnap the connector, and unscrew it
with vise-grips or a BIG wrench (1" maybe?). Then, as they
say, installation is the reverse of removal :-)

All told, it was about 10 minutes in my car (once I figured
out that I was *tightening* it, not loosening it!). Angela's
car took significantly longer, since there isn't room to swing
a screwdriver in her engine compartment.

Two questions: my car now reads about 1/2 notch cooler than it
used to. I assume this is just a slight variance in sensor output.

Angela's car reads fine, but her auto-check display sometimes
lights up the "water temperature" symbol. Water and oil temps
seem fine from the gauges. Coolant level is OK. Any thoughts?

Only my cat shares my opinions, and I can swing her in that compartment.
