    snow guy, that sensor has two parts, one side the pcm reads, the other side to the dash cluster reads.
    Awkward, I didnt know that. lol. Thats weird... you would think the cluster could just get the info from the pcm .

    It's actually how a lot of cars are set up. On my Stealth there are actually two different sensors. One 1-wire sensor for the gauge, and one 2-wire sensor for the ECU.
