Water Temp: Autometer CF Series

Okay, I put the sensor in the lower manifold where there was a plug. That lead no where. So, everything is hooked up. Here is how it went. Turned the car on. 100 degrees. Just like the tranny temp gauge. 180 within a few miles. Then it was pegged at 250 and never left 250! WTF! What do you think the problem is? I spent two days moving those two gauges and the nitrous gauge to the dash. Damn, that is no plug an play! Pictures will come after race day. . .

Why didn't you put the sensor in the front of the lower intake manifold and remove the stock sensor? Maybe it's either not reading right where you put it, you have a short or a loose connection somewhere.

I wanted to keep the old gauge running. To see just what is what on it. Also, the temp sensor. That is the one on the drivers side, in between the first two injectors. Right? Also, there was a plug in the manifold. Not doing anything. So, I used it.

One thing I gotta ask. When you take a plug off of the lower manifold. Shouldn't coolant come out? The plug I took out. Coolant did not come out. But I checked it with a socket extension. Coolant. . .

The negative, on the back side came off. F-n shiz. Its tight as hell in the dash!
