It seems to be getting hot to the touch and just barely registers a temp change after the engine is warmed up. I haven't checked a thing yet, but thought I would ask for input. Thanks all...is it Friday yet? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

My car does the same thing. The stock temp gauge barely moves when the car's warmed up. I just bought and installed a CHT gauge, and it seems to be pretty accurate. It will get up to 325 before my stock gauge does anything.
