So while at the JY looking for a F-ING cooling fan i found somthing else i needed in a XJ there. low and behold it was the Temp gauge sensor i needed! :D so after getting pissed off about the cooling fan i popped the new sensor i just got right into the engine and my temp gauge works AWSOME now . So i had a frustrating day but an acomplishing one at the same time :D . I know for most of you a simple temp sensor is no big deal to put in, but my newbie @$$ feels really good about it :chillin:
