I have a Saleen Speedlab Supercharger on a 2000 Mustang GT. I have noticed this past week that my intercooler continuosly creeps up until it will hit max (just beyond 200). This has me worried. I live in AZ but the temps are not that hot and the supercharger has never had this problem. It has been on the car since 2001. My car just hit 20,000 original miles.

I recently (unfortunately) busted a rocker arm and that was repaired by Ford. However since then I have noticed the intercooler running very high. I took it for a short drive through town and it is running higher than it would on a 2-3 hour road trip. I had never seen my Intercooler hotter than 130 or so.

Is there anyone who can give me some guidance on this? I am thinking I should call Ford again to see if the tech will re-look at it. But I wanted to ask in this forum of those who actually may own the same product and have seen similar instances.

Thanks for your help

check to make sure your IC pump and fans are working. More than likely that you just blew a fuse. The is tucked away in the passenger side fender behind the headllight. You should be able to see the fans running a few seconds after you start the car, and to make sure the pump is working open up the tank and make sure that you see it flowing.
