Hi everyone, I've completed the fuel injector cleaning and testing today. All injectors were run through a cleaning machine with a leak test function. While I found no leaks, the spray patterns were definitely dirty and poor. I've cleaned them thoroughly and will reinstall them shortly...
ok, Thanks for the info; I didn't realize there was a water cooling hose in the fuel pump (learning every day).

I assumed that this ECT sensor works with ECM and give info to the gauge
Thank you for willing to help.
1- 12V working fine in the gauge

I'm still suspecting the wire from the female connector (picture) to the engine harness.
