    Temp sensor?

    Today after school, halfway home realized my temperature gauge was still on the very bottom like it would be leaving the car off over night or so.
    Everything still drives fine, I am guessing its a sensor or something?
    Where exactly would it be on my car? I have a 96 LT1 M6, or is there something else I should be looking for?

    Well, On a 98-02 Fbody the temp sensor is on the drivers side head up front. Might be the same for you.

    LT1's have two temp sensors, one for the PCM and one for the gauge.

    Well replaced one of them today, no help.
    This sucks. Don't really feel like doing another one.
