Ive noticed something rather odd over the last couple of months, mainly since the MPFI conversion i think.... When I flick the auto into Power mode, the temp rises up to around the R and A section of the spack cluster...... but in Econ mode its down at N/O :yeees: What the heck is it? is the actual car running hotter in power mode? It doesnt have a trans cooler BTW

The power switch will make the car run warmer due to the stator being locked up & heating the oil up abit more.
It is normal.

Does the temp slowly increase or is straight away?
BTW, I still have my big trans cooler.

The Temp increases from O to A in the NORMAL area on the Spack Cluster in around 5seconds
What did you want for the Cooler btw?

That's really funny coz I have driven my Fairmont Ghia EL to and from Bathurst (I live in Central Victoria), and I put the trans in power mode in the hills on the way back, but not on the way up and the engine temp didn't change one little bit no matter where the button was. The only change was the engine revs would drop lower in the econ mode before the trans would change, having the trans in power enable the car to maintain speed (in cruise) in the hills a lot bette, but no temp change.

my battery wiring was loose at one stage and simply turning the headlights on, or to highbeam even more so, effected the temperature guage (made it jump a letter or so) so i guess it is possible that it's wiring.
