Car runs great, I think it is running a tad on the warm side. Also, when it is running warmer than normal around 210 consistently, I notice the Voltmeter goes to max. If I shut it off, it goes back to normal and when I restart the car it stays at around 14 volts but when I rev the motor it runs back up to max again. Any ideas on what would cause that? It just started doing it when the car started running warmer than it was, it used to run at 180 to 190 but now it's up to 210. Anyone know what is going on?

If I recall correctly you recently replaced your alternator. How did you wire it up? If something is hosed with the wiring, or if the alternator has a defective regulator or field circuit, the voltage can go too high. Put a DVM on the battery and see what it's running since it's pegging the console gauge. Too high or too low voltage can definitely cause errors in your temp gauge. |
