Good morning,
Can you give me the voltage reading at the temperature sensor on the cylinder head between number 1 and 3 cylinder spark plugs?

If it is reading okay when it is cold and normal, I am wondering if you either replaced the wrong sensor or you installed one for a light instead of a gauge.
There is a coolant temperature sensor on the intake by the thermostat but that is not the sensor.

I attached the part selection as well. The 2 look the same but are different.
