Jeez, Jeff, if you got any advice from me I hope it was to measure things and actually find out what's wrong, not throw stuff at it randomly.

This system is *easy* to diagnose, if you do it systematically.

The first thing is a precise scond-by-second description of what happens to gauge and light in the first twenty seconds after turnign the key on. Second is do you have tall old or short new coolant level controller?

>Any suggestions on the pegging temp >gauge? Maybe I’m just ultra low on coolant >(wouldn’t that be fantastic. Sigh).

What would be fantastic would be just diagnose the problem and fix it. It isn't magic. But it means being precise about descriptions and eliminating things in a defined order.

Yrs, d
