did you buy the right part? i went and bought one and they gave me the wrong one. theres the coolant temp sensor on the water pump and then the metal temp switch on the side of the heads on the driver side between #1 and #3 cyl. the one on the driver side head has one wire that goes into it and the on on the water pump has two wires thats the one that controls your guage.......make sure you purchased the right one.....what year camaro do you have?
