Make sure it is full of coolant. There probably is a small leak causing the smell. Check it cold as sometimes it leaks cold but not hot.
normally the gauge should be in the middle.(between hot and cold) that is concider operating temp.
Whether or not a march fuel gauge will fit a B13 tank depends on the size of the march gauge. You should be able to find a march gauge that will fit on a B13 tank.
White smoke is a sure sign that coolant is getting into your engine. This be caused by a number of things including a blown head gasket or a cracked head.
if it's 14-gauge then it's 14-gauge.
Some older car water temps do go up on hotter days when sitting at lights and such but should come down fairly fast once you get going again. Almost all modern cars now have electric radiator fans that come on and off randomly when needed. If the temp goes up fairly fast on a cooler day then you may be low on antifreeze and just needs to be topped off or replaced with new fluid. Antifreeze should be replaced every 2 to 4 years. It should be fine unless it goes up fast and gets into the red zone (220 degrees or higher) for too long then you may have a boil over of your fluid. If it does it a lot then it could be bad for the engine parts. Worst case scenario is the water pump may be dying.
Low Coolant? Weak Temerature sensor? Weak gauge Gauge working properly and recording the thermostat opening and closing as engine temperature fluctuates
When you turn a corner the guage fluctuates.
Your pressure gauge may be broken....If it fluctuates, then you know its not your gauge, but if your gauge always reads 80, it may need to be replaced.
The temperature gauge on a car fluctuates because the car's thermostat is opening and closing. The gauge goes up when the thermostat closes and the gauge goes down when the thermostat opens.
because your thermostat is opening and closing as the engine temp. fluctuates
The gauge does not cause the heat; it only shows what it is.
I just bought a fuel pressure gauge and it comes with a book. In that book every make and model imaginable. I have a Ford Taurus and the pressure for yours should be 40 psi
The oil pressure gauge on a 2002 Ford Taurus is located right next to where the battery is, toward the middle of the actual car. The gauge is connected to the front of the engine.
Could be low on coolant or a faulty thermostat.
Because it is a Pontiac. Sorry, man.
check the antifreeze
The gauge is part of the fuel pump/float assembly within the gas tank. It is probably a $500.00 repair. It is harmless.
