On the fan issue, turn your AC on and see if they come on at the same time. (Dont know if automatic climate control allows you to do this though).

Looking at some schematics I have, and it shows on the 95s you should only have one sensor (us S1 guys have two). It'* entirely possible you got a flakey sensor out of the box. Which brand of sensor did you get for it?

i dont have automatic climate control... the AC used to turn them on, but it doesn't anymore... pretty sure the fan motors are good, how can i pinpoint the problem? i heard you can unplug the AC pressure switch (not sure on the name) to force them on.. where is this located?

i don't remember the brand of the temp. gauge it was from checker auto.
i was thinking that i could run an after market gauge up into the cabin just so i don't have to replace my whole cluster. is that a good solution?

I bought a new GM senser and I had this problem on my 95SSE

Bonnevillan, I would check it with a scan tool like I did with mine to verify the actual temp.
