ahh the haynes, waste of good recycled paper it is.

The brown one is the temp gauge/light sender.

The white one is the coolant temp sender.

The sensor corrodes and gives erroneous outputs, easily checked with a multimeter or iif your anal a scope.

Yours has most likely failed so as to read its hot when its not. This cuts back injector duration thus less fuel when its needed.

Thus in technical terms, no worky
