is there a way to calibrate a temp gauge? i have a ls swapped into my 97 ta. right now i'm running 2 ls1 temp sensors (one in each head) the pcm is reading the temp correctly and operating the fans properly. the one in the passenger head is for the cluster. it reads higher than the car. wanted to know if there was a way to adjust the cluster or signal send to correct the difference.

does it appear to be an offset issue, being a certain degrees off? are you using 2 or 3 wire ls1 sensors, I would assume (and we all know the definition of that) that using a 98 ls1 3 wire sensor, and the third pin, for the 97 lt1 gauge cluster, should be the closest since the 98 ls1 used this for the cluster, and hopefully GM kept the same calibration between the sensors.

yea, it looks to be off around 30 degrees. i have 2, 2 wire sensors. just the way the harness came from a company that converts them. i'm looking into the 3 wire sensor from a 98, had to order a pigtail for it.
