Ahhhhhhhrg fucking cossies

I'll just wait untill it goes wrong instead of thinking and worrying about it
I may be wrong but the ECT doesn't send signal to the temp gauge, it's just signal to the ECU. like rapidcossie said, if the ECT dies, it overfuels the car hence black smoke out the exhaust, but the temp gauge should still read normal.
