water temp

[dakota]

hey, i have a 1994 camaro z2.8 liter camaro and i was putting a couple of gauges in it today oil press.....volt..... and water temp...... now i know that there is two sensors "water temp" one being by the water pump and other on driver head.... i disconnected the one from the head and put mine on it .... i then later found out that i supposivly need both of those sensors for the car to run b/c of the computer ...... my car won't start ..... is this why? suggestions ?


thanks

I'm guessing you are going to analog gauges then? The PCM does not use the temp sensor in the head, just the one in the WP. The one in the cylinder head runs to the PCM, and then straight to the temp gauge. Check and make sure you didn't leave something else unplugged. Does it crank at all?

it cranks really fast then pops a tad then cranks and pops and so on...

its been in the warm shop so it should of fired right up ....
