My temp has read hotter than it actually is for years. I have a feeling it's dirty or next to something hot since I put my blower on. Where is this thing? When it's 85 outside the car says it 99. It's pretty far off.

Let me know.

Thanks!

The sensor is in the front grill area Dom. If you remove the cover for the radiator and look straight down the sensor is just to the right of the hood latch.

Dom, all I had to do to correct mine was put it back properly in it's mounting bracket--somehow, it had come loose and was kinda dangling--now it is horizontal to the ground and about 2 degrees off--also, the direction the sun hits the hood above it can effect the reading--not really that accutate all the time--hope that helped--Old Man Maury

OMG the sensor is right behind his intercooler.

Everyone needs to stop helping Dominick. It may be hard to believe, but when he is FORCED to figure something out on his own he is quite capable, just too damn lazy to ever do it on his own.

According to urbandictionary.com

That's what BP said: A variant of "that's what she said (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=that%27s%20wha t%20she%20said)." Instead of referring to sexual connotations, it is used to refer to spending a lot of money, making a mess, or ****ing up very badly. Arose after the 2010 BP oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico.
X: Oh man, I really screwed the pooch on that one.
Y: That's what BP said!

X: It's going to take me all day to clean this mess up.
Y: That's what BP said!

I figured that was the problem...but who said that we were trying to help him??
If he ever researches anything before he starts a new thread, I think that I will have to go buy some lottery tickets!

I agree. The other comments should be moved to the lounge section with the drinks.

That's probably pretty accurate. He's started 1000 threads since 11-21-2006, which is the limit for the search function. I'd estimate the total is around ~2500 or so.

Funny thing is, I wondered where the temp was taken when I bought my car so I popped my hood looked around and wouldn't you know it... I FOUND IT ON MY OWN... and in less that a MINUTE! Would have taken less time to search on your own than to post a thread!

Not everyone has your mechanical skills, so why don't you stop bragging and instead help us figure out how to do it. I mean, the hood doesn't magically raise up on its own, something causes it. Perhaps you could tell us what you did to make that happen, or is it a secret?
