Ok, i have an autometer phatom EGT guage in my piller pod, i got the piller pod installed about a week ago and got all the wiring and ran out to the engine and ready to hook up and to day i finnaly dragged out the welder and welded the threaded bung that came with the guage to the stock downpipe right behind the O2, but in the side of the tube not on the top. got the probe installed and hooked up and when i turn on the truck the guage will start to rise and read the temp and then it starts shaking pretty bad and after a few seconds will just go all the way back down and sit there.
Then when i turn off the truck the needle will rise up to were the temp is i guess.
I have the red to red and yelloew to yellow under the hood and have the cover over the screws so there not shorting out on anything, and on the guage i have the yellow and red on the right post and the power and ground are hooked up right.
I have no idea what the problem is, can sombosy give me some ideas here?
Is the guage just bad, i mean its brand new.
Also could having the yellow wire ran under the hood but not hooked up to the temp probe and the guage getting power having anything to do with it, its been this way for almost a week since i got the piller pod installed.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
