Ok so I have been driving my new 2056 with dual webers an a SVDA dizzy with electronic ignition. Timing is set at 30 btdc. It seems like when I am on the interstate the temp gauge seems to ride at about 75% of the way toward hot.
The flaps should be set correctly and the thermostat seems to be allowing the flaps to move completely. As it moves toward hot I notice a lot of pinging. Plugs don't seem to be running hot or lean by looking at them. I am going to look at the flaps with my scope to verify the position but what to check after that? |

Did a little checking and based on the PET, while there were different gauges (based on years), there was only one sending unit 039919268. So if the 2.0 runs warmer then there would be different gauges for engines not just model years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

So if the 2.0 runs warmer then there would be different gauges for engines not just model years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) You can use either of 2 VDO senders but the temp range on the gauge is different. With the OE sender the red zone is 300F and up. I think the other sender lowers the edge of the red zone to 260. Do you have an air/fuel meter? The wrong mixture will make the engine run hot. Do you have an external oil cooler? IMO any engine larger than 2.0 needs a larger than stock oil cooler. |
