RAIN CITY WRENCH, //. .. 60's ,70's, 80's, 90's car that don't use a OBDII SCAN TOOLS. The temp gauge is not working I mean that the needle is moving but how do you know it the temp gauge is reading false readings? and not correct reading how can I test it without using a Scan tool? what testing tool do you use to test and check the temperature gauge in your cars dashboard is working correctly or is not working correctly? what do I use to test the temperature gauge?
I have multiple thermometers. You could get a cheap (10-12 bucks) automotive analog pocket thermometer, remove the radiator cap and dip it into the coolant. (be VERY careful removing hot radiator caps!!) If the thermometer reads 190 degrees but the gauge only reads 1/4 or less then it's not reading correctly. I also have a digital temp gun and will check the temperature directly next to the temp sending unit (wherever it is) on the engine and compare it to the gauge. Hope that helps
@@raincitywrench117 thanks for the help I don't know where the temp sending unit is at on cars "dynamic pressure test" I guess you just leave the pressure gauge on the radiator and increase the RPM of the engine and if the pressure gauge moves you have a blown head gasket or internal leaks? I'm trying to test the temp gauge by itself to see if its giving "false readings". What "Test Tool" can I use to test the temp gauge to make sure its reading correctly or giving false readings? Plus can I connect another Temp Gauge I can buy at PEP BOYS and connect it to the fuse block to test the temperature to isolate if the temp gauge is the dash board is giving false readings?
@@raincitywrench117 thanks for the help }}} I disconnected the Temperature sending unit/temp sense, so How can I test the instrumentation temp gauge in my cars dash board by itself to check if its working correctly, what do I need to do?
@@raincitywrench117 __--- 1.) How can I test the Pressure of the water pump and the pressure of the radiator while the car is idling and running? I want to know what the pressure is through the radiators hoses and water pump hoses, how can I do this? --- 2.) The Water Pump is "increasing" the radiators coolant into the car engine and into the radiator core to increase the flow of the coolant? -- 3.) How can you test if your radiators hoses and water pump hoses has to much pressure the pressure is to higher than normal operating pressure?
@@raincitywrench117 thanks for the help * The water pump is pumping how much water and coolant? how can I measure this how much the water pump is pumping? I don't know why they call it a water pump because its not pumping only water its pumping coolant. The Water pump only pumps coolant not water into the engine only when the engine is warm and HOT not when the engine is cold? yes I can pressurize the system to 13 to 15 psi to find external leaks using a radiator pressure tester. But I want to measure the Pressure of the system while the car is idling and running at higher RPM to measure the Pressure of the PSI of the system, How can I do this?
Great vid definitely a good point never really thought about it until this vid my old Stant hand pump needs a upgrade!
Definitely something im gonna add to my arsenal didn't know about it until today
Excellent video, Awesome tool
Way better than hand pumping
I did that for years before I got the air powered and now can't imagine pressure testing without it.
Found it on amazon thinking I’m going to buy it
You won't be disappointed, just make sure you have a cooling system adapter set so it can be connected to any radiator or bottle.
what brand is it?
It is Astro pneumatic air powered cooling system tester
👍
Nice video😘
What is the part number for the tank adapter?
Gates 31431 Cooling System Tester Adapter for a Chevy cruze
just subscribed
Appreciate that!
👍👍👍👍👍
Great ....
