where should my temp needle be.

[sn95 bullitt]

I feel that my temperature needle is closer to the red zone then before i got the intake manifold done. What letter on the temperature gauge?

 

[ram360]

Mine is straight up and down whever that may be.

Not all cars read the same. What might be 210 right in the middle of the R might be 220 on somebody else's. Your best bet is to put a cheap aftermarket gauge on so you get an accurate reading.

mine never gets to the middle. just before it after it warms up and stays there.

Mine is in the middle now but before I changed the fan it was closer to the red.check your fan make sure it still runs on high and has a good flow

 

[sn95 bullitt]

The fans works. It was on the A. It used to ran before the m. Norm a l how hard is it to put the gauges in? I have a A-pillar pod.

 

[CC'S95GT]

Mine sits straight up. (R) Did you burp the system real good after the intake swap?

 

[ProKiller]

i was going to say the same thing CC. make sure you have the system burped completely. those stock gauges suck, they are just idiot lights, the letters don't mean anything.

 

[Shifty Powers]

^ While true its the only thing some of us have! lol

So mainly up and down, otherwise a little to the right is normal as well

 

[ttocs]

the stock gauges are useless. I watched my car start to pull timing out of the motor to try and cool it and the gauge was showing half way while the dyno sensors were showing 225+. If you have ever put in different colored gauge faces then they are even further off.

 

[sn95 bullitt]

Its a stock cluster. Does anyone know if its hard to put them cheap temp gauges it? Just droped the car back of at the mechanics to find out where its leaking from.

 

[sn95jones]

Mine sticks right above the "O" on Normal, but on a hot day (100+F) it will get up to "M" if I been driving her hard, but never goes past "M".

straight up and down, although anywhere in the "normal" section is safe. if its consistantly high Id suggest burping the system. If that doesnt work, it may be time for a system flush.

 

[ttocs]

gauges are not a horrible deal as long as the planning is done to get the proper fittings and such. I would not worry about them till you tear into the heads/cam myself as up till then it can be spent somewhere else.

I had the system flushed when i had the intake changed the other day. How do you burp the system?

Mine sits between the R and the M in city driving and between the N and O on the highway

Put the front on ramps and let it idle. The bubbles should work their way to the overflow tank. What year/engine is your stang?

Also gently squeeze the upper radiator hose and you will feel/hear the air if there is any

 

[turbosnake281]

Leave your heater on while doing this and make sure it is blowing hot air

if you've got a 4v, they have burp/fill ports. You can open it and add coolant as needed.
