It just randomly tells me that my engine is either normal or freezing, it moves all the time, lol.
Recently I've installed airram/bbtb and hondata thermal spacers.
help me fix it please, thanks.

it goes in between the IM and the engine to prevent the IM from getting hot and heating the incoming air.
try changing the temp sensor?

Why the hell are you asking that here? Make your own thread.

Anyway, where is the temp sensor? I don't think it just randomly stopped working, I'm pretty sure it's something I did when I installed the airram. Do any of those hoses relate to the temp sensor? Is it possible that since I have a CAI, thermal spacers, and it's negative degrees here, that it just reads super cold air coming through, then it heats up, then sucks in more, etc, so it would do that? And is it bad to continue driving around daily with this malfunctioning like it is? It doesn't seem like it is good for my engine to think it's cold when it's really warm. .And for anyone thinking that it might be the needle, that's impossible because I installed gauge faces months ago, and its always worked fine before.

If you disconnect wires from temp sensor (or sender I don't remember..) temp gauge needle will go to cold.
You probably have something with wires or sensor/sender
