Did this ever get solved. Curious to know what the fix was.

ran into the same when transferring an h swap from 99 to 01. my fix was to run an aftermarket guage and sending unit.

Yep, see SergA'a post above. You'll need a 98 or 99 gauge cluster. Run a single wire from the single connector sending unit on the side of the head (under the distributor) to the C2 connector on the gauge cluster.

Wow I got replies. With solutions. Thank you.

I need a 99 cluster?

No, I never solved this.
lol it doesn't happen often on forums anymore.
Yep, need a 99 or 98 cluster and run a wire from the thermo sensor directly to the cluster. You can add the thermo sensor if your head doesn't have it, I made a post on how I wired mine up for my H23A swap here

Will changing the clusters effect the anti theft stuff? Does the immobilizer or key functions get disturbed?

This is great, I 'm gonna get this one finally.

Part ordered off ebay. Local U pull it, turned up empty nothing that specific.

No changing clusters will not do anything with the immobilizer but what I can suggest is that when you do the cluster just take the whole motor, needles and faces and swap them to your cluster and that will keep your original mileage. I have done this with the 01/02 coupe gauges (grey faces & red needles) in my 98 sedan all I had to do is repin in the coolant needle to the correct spot

Looks like it might be necessary, they sent me a broken one. How do I swap the Coolant gauge only? That part might still work. If I can bring it onto my cluster, and that will do what I need in the end, it could work out.

The 00-02 coolant gauge pins are in a different position from the 98-99, they won't work in each other.

hey guys I know this is an old post but I'm hoping I can get an answer here. I'm aware that the temp gauge doesn't work with hondata. does this also mean that the ecu (hondata) doesn't know the temp?

[QUOTE="DShaw, post: 1127391'm aware that the temp gauge doesn't work with hondata. does this also mean that the ecu (hondata) doesn't know the temp?[/QUOTE]

Sure it does. Hondata knows the CTS value. I wired a underdash button to start recording datastream. If powerfade gets suspicion I can check it in the trip review.

If knew cel phones and computers, I could load an app that shows Temp ...probably.

I have a cheap gauge, under the dash, piggybacked off the CTS. I know the temp..

I want it on the dash. PERFECT! like all my projects. I bought clusters, coolant gauges...

'Redline Gauges' was the best fix I could find. Replacing the workings, with custom parts to make the DASH temp function, calibrated in a range.

I was quoted $495.00, and let it go.
