Try bleeding the air out through the temp sender. Sometimes when we use ada=
pters etc it raises the sender enough that it is in an air pocket. I always=
 bleed the air out through the sender after I have driven the car a little.

Good luck

Hey all =96



It=92s been quiet here so hoping to T-up an easy discussion.



My temp gauge is reading about 25 degrees high.   I noticed it after a shop=
 installed a new clutch, which required the engine to be removed, coolant d=
rained, etc., but nothing that should have affected how the gauge reads.  R=
unning on a cool day, temps were reading around 215-220 degrees.  To ensure=
 I wasn=92t actually in danger of overheating, I checked various water-cool=
ed locations with an infrared thermometer.   Highest reading was right at t=
he water neck/thermostat housing (191 deg F).   The fuel gauge is reading a=
ccurately.  I understand the under-dash instrument stabilizer can affect bo=
th instruments, but in this case, only one gauge is off.  I plan to check t=
he ground to the temp gauge and clean contact points at the engine sending =
unit and at the gauge.   Any other suggestions?



Thanks and I hope all is well out there!
