need help asap - temp gauge

[A18A]

well today after a drive i noticed a funny sound, get home, open the hood and theres water everywere, a hose blew, so fixed that all up now my temp gauge no longer works, the fans do though... any ideas??? i done a quick search, didnt find much

[guaynabo89]

the gauge/ecu use a different sensor than the fans on the 87. if you got no cel it might just be the gauge went bad.

did you work on your dash recently?

[A18A]

i havnt touched the gauge, but im pretty sure the problem is related to the hose blowing

[A18A]

did you know the Honda Fit/Jazz doesn't have a temp guage?

It just has a Cold Light and a Hot light, lol

[A18A]

well yeah, there might not have been a problem with that sensor, its just a odd problem cause the gauge doesnt move untill it's warm and then take about 5 secs to go just under half way.... at least it hasnt gone above lol

and those stock hose clamps just dont work too well :thumbdn:

maybe my car needs coolant hoses upgrade, thats the 3rd hose that blew :thumbdn:

my car had it's period (http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d106/89accord/100_2406Small.jpg)
