I'm looking for a temp gauge sender for a 98 civic 1.6 non vtec, I can't find one here in town that is actually in range of what this sender is supposed to be, it's supposed to be 140 ohms cold, the one i just bought and is on the car is 67 ohms cold, another one on the shelf at the same store reads 500 ohms cold. I cannot afford to buy one from the dealer,as i've been laid off for three weeks already, If someone had a known good used one, email me and we will work out a deal. it's lostforawhile@juno.com thanks, Tim
