the mk5 and 6 escorts used 2 sensors, 1 for ECU and one for the gauge,
sure you've plugged it in?

one on top of thermostat housing, one on the side or back (cant quite remember now)

THANKS for the reply guys, the engine itself was originally fitted into a orion, so not sure whether any of the wires to the engine loom to the multi plug have been changed, the thermo stat housing was damaged so i fitted the escort 1 on which just had the plug socket on the top, but the broken 1 had a sender underneath too. but the escort doesnt have a wire 4 this

Iirc the escort uses the one at the bottom for the gauge.
Sender could also be at fault
