Temp Guage Works...Kind of

My temp guage goes up and down while running fine, but if I were to let the car sit in the cold over night it never zeros. The gauge reads just above the first line past zero. It pegs to hot when I start it, but I'm not sure it is giving me the right readings since it was already ahead of the curve. I upgraded the radiator to a 2 row aluminum and now it seems to sit 1/8" or so above 220. The factory radiator barely crept above 220 if ever. Any help would be appreciated.

You might need a new sender.

Here’s how to find out:

With the engine OFF, key OFF, and the engine cold, remove the wire going to the sender.

Connect an ohmmeter from the sender to ground.

What reading do you get?


Happy Racing!
