Hi all!
I'm from Italy and I read your forum for a long time. It helped me a lot in my Nova restoration. I have a Nova Gsi (in Italy is called Opel Corsa A Gsi) with E16SE engine. I have an oil temp gauge and I tried to install it. I took the signal from the OEM oil temp sender, that is in the rear of the block. It has 2 wires (negative and signal). I connected the gauge, and it works perfectly with the oem sender. BUT... when I start the engine, the fault light turns on. If i disconnect the power or the signal of the gauge, the fault light turns off. Then, I think the ecu read a different resistance form the sender because the inner resistance of the gauge, and turns on the fault.
Anyone can help me? I serched a lot in the forum, but I've not find any solution.
I apologize if my English is not good, I hope is understandable.
Thanks to all
Regards
