2001 Montero Limited temp gage acting up...

[cap510]

I know there is quite a few gen3 oweners here so thought I ask, Has anybody here have the same problem? if so what did you do to fix it?

My temp gage started acting up a couple of weeks ago, it goes from cold to hot for no reason... i know the engine is not running hot and already replace the temp sensor (single blade connector) NOT the ECM sensor.

Any susggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This is a problem with the temp gauge. I have this problem on our 2001. The gauge has to be sent off for replacement and re-programing. The repair quote was $800. I bought a cheap digital gauge as a solution.
