Re: Oil Temperature

["Chris Campbell" <Chris.Campbell@eastbridge.ns.ca>]

The MFA on my car (95 GLX) reports "---" when the engine 
temperature is below 50 degrees celcius.  If yours is still reporting this 
when the engine is warmed up, it sounds like your sensor has gone 
south or the connnection to it has come loose.  The latter should be 
easy to check, the former not too bad to remedy.

Cheers,

Chris
