Ford Tempo The Ford Tempo is an American-built two-door coupe and four-door sedan produced by the Ford Company from 1984 to 1994.

Smile Temp Problems?

Why isn't my Temperature Guage working? And I just put new Antifreeze in the car last weekend, so I know it's not hot. I think it might be the Thermostat. Because I was ridin' home the other day after school and I smelt Anitfreeze and seen smoke coming from under my hood. Then I popped it and the Thermostat was really hot. So what do you guys think I should do? Change the Thermostat or what?

Sounds like the sender for the gauge is either unplugged or your sender is altogether bad.

Well whenever I drive it, it doesn't run hot I suppose. Besides, the temp guage is always on the C for cold anyway.
