Issue is once the car goes above 60 the temp gauge starts to rise, feels like a miss, and loss of power. @ idle it feels more of a miss, temp kind of levels out.

stange thing if you go WOT the temp rises to hot when the rpms go 4500 + then drops as fast as the rpms drop when it shifts.

Doesnt seem to be an air bubble in the system, no bird cage, waterfall sound.
Replaced themostat, clutch fan.

oil guage works at times and doesnt on others, replaced with US sender from the JDM. New oil pump.

New motor w/ 30-40 k on it. Is a JDM motor. Any other sensors that dont work like the US ones?

New plugs, replaceing wires tomorrow.

I have no idea where to look next.... any w/ ideas?

Look at the thermostat housing...

There is a single wire plug that plugs in to the middle of the housing.. it may be loose. reset it. and see if that helps. if your confused I can take a pic for you.

im guessing its the yellow/green wire on the side/bottom of the housing. I check all three connections (top, side top, side bottom) made sure they were clicked on, the top one doesnt seem like it clicks when it sets, but ill make sure when i have day light tomorrow I clean the terminals and make sure the contacts are good.

Is there a difference in these sensors from JDM to ours?
