Autometer temp gauge troubles
I have the autometer Ultra-Lite gauges in my car, and I started it up yesterday for the first time and noticed the temp gauge climbed very quickly, a lot more quickly than the stock one.
I am talking 15 to 30 seconds running time. The engine wasnt that hot, I could touch it fine. I had put aluminum heads on over the winter and a stock "replacement" temp sender in the head. I bought the gauge that works with the GM senders. I am wondering what everyone else did, that did this gauge swap?? Did you put the autometer sender in??
The only other thing I can think of, is i put the SPAL programmable fan controlle ron the car and that splices off of the factory sender...could that mess with the signal to the gauge??
