If the thermostat AND the gas gauge and not working, consider replacing the
voltage stabilizer location behind the tach.

Subject: thermostat and EGR
The temp gauge in my 6 no longer works. Is there any conventional wisdom
about what fails, the gauge or the temp transmitter? I'll probably replace
the transmitter, thermostat, and gasket, just for kicks, but I was just
wondering if there was a clever way to tell which one is out.
Also, I broke the brass nut that attaches into the intake manifold,
allowing
the EGR valve elbow pipe to connect to the intake manifold. I recently
picked up another intake manifold that had the a cap where the EGR elbow
pipe should go into the intake manifold. So, I capped mine as well. I
don't see any problems other than the EGR valve (which looks like it is
inoperable anyway) venting into the engine compartment/atmosphere. Anyone
see any mechanical problems with that setup?
Thanks,
