Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 1998 4.6L - Temp Gauge Inoperative - P0125 Code

My son bought his first truck, 1998 Ford F150 Supercab 4.6L Auto. (Proud of Him)

Salvage Flood Title, looks like engine been replaced. (Not so proud of him).

Anyway, vehicle seems to run and drive fine, however, failed emissions test.

P0125 Code pops up, Temp Gauge is not working, pegs all the way hot after truck is running, changed out Both ECT's in front of engine, one is right beside the other, I guess one goes to PCM and other to Gauge.

Now Gauge is reading all the way cold, let run for over 30 minutes and still shows nothing on Gauge...

Touareg :: 2005 - Outside Temp Gauge Needs Recalibration

The outside temp gauge on my '05 Treg has never read correctly. It reads approx. +5 degrees F. throughout the range. Can this be recalibrated, by Vag-Com or otherwise, or is it a faulty sensor, needing the dealer's attention? Where is the sensor, anyhow?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Loud Ticking Noise From Engine When Temp Below 25F (-4C) For 5 Minutes

You know the ticking noise that is normal for our engines? Well, below 25 degrees F, it is the most worst noise ever. It sounds like the valve train is going to explode. Just keep in mind I've driven many cars. The ticking noise shouldn't be outrageously loud.

But my main problem that is worrying me is this WHOMP-WHOMP-WHOMP noise. The higher the RPM the faster the noise. Doesn't matter if the car is moving or not and I know it's coming from the engine. I hope it's not related to the loud ticking. It only happens for approximately 5 minutes. After that, there's no WHOMP sound and the ticking goes back to normal sound levels.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Ticking Noise Coming From Behind Gauge Cluster / Tied To Speed

This started just today. I have a strange ticking noise coming from right behind my gauge cluster. The frequency of the ticking is tied directly to my speed. It begins when I drive off and slows to a stop when I stop (almost like a "baseball card in a bicycle spoke" sound, but just not as loud). What this might be? Could it have something to do with the speedometer? Odometer?

Touareg :: 2004 - Ticking Noise When Accelerating Strongly

On my 2004 VW (V8) Touareg (55k miles) I'm starting to hear a ticking or flicking (like with playing cards) noise from somewhere outside the cabin when I put the hammer down. For example, if I'm at a dead stop and kinda hit the gas (for a good throttle response) my wife and I both hear a ticking noise that is making me wonder if something is wrong or heading that way....

Ford Transmission :: 2002 - Temp Gauge Move To Running Temp In Cold?

02 6.8 4x4 excursion. When I start the truck cold, the trans temp gauge immediately moves to "running" temp. Not really sure how this happens, I'd figure that if the xducer was trash it would ride all the way high or all the way low. What's happening here? I'd sure like a functional gauge...

Grand Prix :: Overheating But Temp Gauge Not Going Above Normal Operating Temp

I have a 2004 Grand Prix and it is displaying the symptoms of overheating but the temp gauge is not going above normal operating temp. I replaced the thermostat twice, and after driving for about 10-20 mins coolant comes out of the overflow. I'm at a loss, I'm thinking temp sensor(?) But I don't want to keep throwing unnecessary money into it. The fans work fine, the heater blows as it should.

Chevrolet - 1500 :: 2012 - On Hills Water Temp Gauge Goes 2 / 3 And Tranny Temp At 200 - 210 Degree?

I have a 2012 Crew cab Silverado 5.3 V8 with the towing package. When I pull my travel trailer (approx. 5000 lbs), the water temp stays 1/2 guage and the tranny temp is 170-190, however, on steep hills the water temp guage goes 2/3 to 3/4 guage for a short time and the tranny temp reaches 200-210 degrees. Is the elevated water and tranny temps okay or should I try to reduce them back to the normal range. What is the max temp I should keep the tranny at?

Touareg :: Rattle Coming From Muffler Only Upon Acceleration

I believe I have a spark plug issue although I am assured that they have been replaced in enough time to not have a problem. I'm am having acceleration issues, losing power over time, misfires and engine deceleration. I also now have a rattle that sounds like it is coming from my muffler only upon acceleration. It seems to be getting louder over time as well. This coupled with a rough idle and an over heated engine when the ac was on its cause for worry. Could the rattle be connected?

SC/SL/SW :: 1992 - Loud Engine Noise Almost Like There Is No Muffler On The Car

I have a 1992 SC Coupe I was just given for free from my Cousin. It has 92, 000 miles on it. The car looks in great shape, it drives smooth. But in the front under the hood there is a loud engine noise almost like there is no muffler on the car, you acutally hear it loud inside th car also. But the sound is in the front. After about 15 min of warming up the car the sound is gone. A freind suggested there could be a crack in the manifold.

Also I noticed that the back seat vibrates a lot with any tiny imperfection on the road while the front seat you barely feel any vibration on rough roads. Is it only my car?

Passat (B5) :: Temp Gauge Dropping Low At 120 - 130?

I recently purchased an 03 GLX wagon 4 motion from a dealer as is. It had 84,000 on it when I got it and needed a timing belt. The work was performed by a VW dealer and all has been well until today. I was on the highway, had been working the car pretty well for about an hour and i noticed that the temp gauge which is at 190 religiously is now dropped down as low as 120- 130.

I continued to drive, thinking maybe just a bad sensor/gauge considering I had no check engine light yet. I still have good heat but when I got home I noticed that the coolant reservoir was bubbling pretty fierce. Couldn't tell if it was boiling or if it was compression coming back in from perhaps a head gasket failure.
