hi guy's i have a problem with my temp gauge after cobra intake install
i know that the stock guage is junk but do you know what can cuz a funny reading of the gauge i now that the car is not overheating (changed a sender unit for the gauge from ford) when the car starts to worm up seems to be good it goes to the m and r in 'normal' and then you can see that jumps to the L and back down and some times goes all the way to the H part and stays there
do you thing there is something wrong with the ground for the gauge that can cause this any body have a clue ??????
thank's

Did you burp the cooling system? Air pocket will create erratic readings.

Good luck.

definitely sounds like you have an air pocket in the system.
