KovemaN Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Where are you trying to place the sender? I'm pretty sure that the sender provided with the kit is 1/8" NPT. Most, if not all threads on a Pathfinder are metric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 You bought a Harbor Freight one didn't you? Most of the stuff there is of low quality, somethings are "ok" and some are really not bad for what they are. I personally would never trust my engine to anything from there My advice, if you did get one from there, remove it, take it back or throw it away and head to a real parts store and but a quality gauge. Gut that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 when i bought the temp gauge it read 190 in the packet. when i ran the car it read the same went alittle higher. how do i reset it? it read 190 in the package? I am assuming that is not its minimum reading, correct? Take it back, if should read completely down at the lowest mark (at the peg if there is one) when it's in the package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
