Someone might have used a sensor as a plug or relocated a sensor. Does your stock gauge function? Do you have an aftermarket temp gauge?

yea i have an aftermarket gauge but is there any coolant sensor for the computer or anything

The stock gauge's sender is on the front driver's side of the lower.
The ECT (for the EEC) is on the front passenger side of the engine.

could it be because i have an edelbrock intake it got moved

Coolant flow at the back of the intake can be compromised. I would simply look for the stock gauge sender and ECT in their stock locations. If you have those and you don't have an aftermarket gauge or electric fan, that sensor is probably left over from a PO's modifications.

ya i got an aftermarket gauge on the drivers front location and i got the ect sender on the passenger so who the heck knows y that one is there. but thanks for all the help

When i installed my autometer temp gauge in the stock location, i moved my factory one to the rear of the intake just to keep it functional (backup if anything).

It reads slightly cooler, but at least it's not a dead gauge. I personally am not a fan of cars with aftermarket gauges and the factory gauges all sitting on 0 when the car is running.
