you can test them with a mutli meter

is your car actualy over-heating? whats the temp guage sitting at after warmed up?

is your fan kicking in?

Overheating if its killing the revs, or faulty sensor making it think its too hot

my battery is fine and alternator charging at 14.something

could it be censors is there any cleaning methods that can be done?

and no fan not kicking in i need to know the wiring as im not sure my temp gauge is working..

theres a blue wire that goes to the back of the clocks from the temp sensor

you cant realy do anything to the coolant temp sensor apart from replace it or make sure its plugged in

you can slean the afm with some car cleaner but be carefull as it quite fragile inside
