ok i searched and i couldnt find any clear answers..
its a 2000 explorer with the ohv vin code x.
recently my temp gauge would just go alittle pass the cold line and just leerch there. and some days it would work normally. so i was talking to my friend who was a tech at toyota about my gas millage being terrible, and i told him bout the temp gauge and he told me it was probally the pcm dumping more fuel into the system because of the temp gauges faulty reading. so tonnight we replaced both thermostat and the coolant temp sensor hooked everything back up put some coolant in. and of couse now the gauge is not reading at all. so i am looking for some advice now on what could be wrong... and the plug for the temp sensor has only one wire coming from it correct.
sorry for the long read just kinda annoyed.
