Temp Gauge Reading

OK, I'm becoming a real pest to the local dealer. I buy $20 worth of odds and ends then ask $300 worth of questions.

Here's what I've just walked away with, the ohm readings for the temp senor, oil pressure and fuel tank for most 944s.

Up to the 85.5 where the temp gauge is at the top:

40 C = 287.4 ohms
105 C = 33.6 ohms
120 C = 22.7 ohms

This may be the small single connection brass fitting behind the throttle body on the block. Threads into a blind hole and does not contact the coolent. Clues?

See included graphics for locations on gauges.

After the 85.5 where the gauge is on the side:

40 C = 287.4 ohms
60 C = 134.0 ohms
80 C = 69.1 ohms
100 C = 38.5 ohms
115 C = 25.8 ohms

Think this is the DME type senor in either the oil or coolent. Any clues here?


Also have the resistance values for the fuel tank and oil pressure gauge/senders if anyone wants them.

When was the last time you changed your timing and balance belts and/or cam chain and tensioner?
