My termi heating up...help?

[ProjectVenom]

recently, I've noticed that my temp needle has been rising up and sitting middle of the gauge, covering the thermometer picture. Usually, it sits just before it, and I've never seen it fluctuate as it does now. However, I turn my car off (when this happens) and its back to normal? What the heck is going on??? NOTE: mods are pulley, xpipe high flow, lfp heatexchanger, exhaust and ram air intake. 80k on motor.... any suggestions??? Thanks all!

check the crossover for a fill and look for leaks.

was this before or after the heat exchanger was installed?? maybe need to burp it better sounds like air pockets maybe. What is you're A/F ratio? maybe lean and causing to detonate.

Roger. Will do. All my fluids are topped off. Now that I think about it, approximately two weeks ago I was low on ac coolant? Haven't seen it go down since, but ill check for leaks.

Honestly I wouldn't be too concerned with what the factory temp needle is doing, it's almost totally useless. Sounds like you might just have an elec glitch. Use the odometer to read precise ECT from the OBDII system to see if you actually have a problem.
