Guys guys guys guys...I have a issue. I installed clutch fan/shroud and put in a thermostat. All oem.

The issue is that the car still "says" its high in temp but it doesn't exactly boil over. I also don't let it get to H. And I have a stock temp gauge. I bleed the system and from my knowledge there shouldn't be no air in the system. What do you guys think it is???

What engine and what chassis?

Engine s13 red top sr. Chassis s14. I have this motor in the car for months. It just started doing this when I changed it the Fan and put back to oem

Make sure you swap the temperature sensor for the gauge cluster to one that matches whatever cluster you have in the car. So the original redtop one is not correct for S14.

I've had the motor in the var for months. It just started reading hot when I went back to stock cooling setup. But I am going to switch it anyway just to make sure
