Yeah, was supposed to be mine but you jacked it! Oh well, probably treated it better than I would have anyway

I'm betting the gauge is shot! You have covered all of the other bases Dustin...especially if your getting something different from your IR thermometer....

Stuck in an aftermarket guage......Its really getting to 240!!! uuuggghhh I guess my IR gun cant see thru metal!??!!??

So, I pulled the ac condenser......no dice
Pulled the t-stat......took longer to get there. no dice
Pulled the O2 and it was white, indicating lean. This can make it run hot!!!
Replaced cap and rotor..no dice
Replaced O2...no dice
Replaced all injectors cuz they were nasty!...no dice
Theked the pcm coolant sensor....checks good
Tested IAT..checks good.
Tested MAP..checks good.
OMG shoot me...checks good
Pulling hood tomorrow, and changing pcm.

I dont know what else to do. Its never actually lost coolant, but 240 is 20 deg too hot. 220 is still too hot, but in 100*+ weather, they tend to run there.



Highly annoyed. Lucky for me, Jon is super appreciative of all Im doing. Cant tell you how nice it is to be stressed and him not adding to it by getting mad!

Hudfab has good customers!!!...and most return.

That's what I realized after it's damn near already out to patch it. Where to source a radiator now for cheaper than 200 damn dollars.

Also for some reason the heep smells like it's running rich. Hopefully Dustin will figure his issue out so he can tell me what he did to fix it. :P
No CELs and I can't find any exhaust leaks.
