About a year ago my temp gauge began spiking to the red
at start up even though it was way to soon to be even warm
yet. I discovered if I blipped the RPMs over 4k the gauge
would stabilize and operate normally for the duration of the
trip - regardless of how long that was.
I drove down to VOI with no change, but during the scenic
cruise the gauge spiked again and never came back down.
Luckily for me Tator was there and diagnosed the issue as
a bad sensor. We all agreed the car was running at proper
temp dispite the gauge.
Recently I installed the new sensor and the gauge is back to
spiking when cold. But now it feels/smells like the car is
overheating on long runs. The gauge needs the blip to set
when cold, but shows normal the rest of the time.
Any ideas?
