I just had my new engine installed and have noticed that my Autometer Phantom temp gauge still reads high. Just for a quick background, my engine got nuked when I developed a short in my electrical system which killed my electric fan (and my engine with it) along with a few other electrical components. The gauge tended to read high before the work was done and is still doing so. It now has a new fan and t-stat and the fan is hooked up to a dc-control unit. The radiator is only a year old. Anyone ever see a gauge malfunction and read high? One last thing, the temp seems to go up if I drive fast or hit it hard, but goes back down at idle.
