Hello,
I need some help, I finally fixed all my vacuum leaks, the car idles fine, have a Hot Spark installed, and timing seems to be OK. Today I drove the car a bit and after a while the temp gauge indicated that the car is running hot, the needle moved over the P of TEMP before I decided to stop and take a break. After 30 minutes I started the car again and drive immediately home, needle again indicated that the car is running to hot. Before I fixed all vaccum leaks the car was running like ... but the temp stayed consistent in the middle, so I assume the gauge is fine. What to check, the knob on the ECU is already all the way to rich. - Juergen |

Assume nothing! Check the oil temp with a known working instrument e.g. an IR thermometer aimed at the pan where the sending unit goes, your wife's cooking thermometer, anything. Just don't assume.
