1996 Honda Accord 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I actually have the same problem as this person with the 2000 ACCORD but I have a 1996 ACCORD VTEC 4 cylinder... is the info to solve the same? In fact, my fuel guage reads FULL TANK incorrectly as well so sounds even more like the same issue as the tech detailed. Thanks for any input.

Hi sketters23,

The title is temperature gauge goes to hot whereas you described the fuel gauge as not accurate, are both problems occurring?

Yes, both guages end up at Hot and Full respectively... the temp goes up to Hot from a cold start in about 5 seconds and the fuel guage stays at Full on or off.
