ANYONE Have Any Ideas or Solve This Problem? HELP!!

[Dimitrios]

had a ROE SC installed and after install the temp gauge just flies over to 250 degrees even when the car is cool. it doesnt creep up slowly and just zooms right up there. Also there is no power going from Alternator back to the battery and car idles rough with misfire codes..Battery light came on. I removed a VEC 1 and im thinking maybe a short somewhere???? Anyone have any ideas? Guys Help. wanna go to ATCO this week and drag race!!!thanks

the guage is most likely the Temp Sensor. Had the same thing happen to me.
the power from the alternator is most likely something done with the install....

Not connected maybe?

Hey Dimitrios,
Congrats on the SC, now just take it back to whoever installed it and have them check it out. Sounds like something wasn't re-connected after the install.

thanks guys. Marc, everything was connected the same. There were only or 3 harness connections that had to be diconnected when taking of the intake manifold and all hae been checked. chuck called and said i might have blown a fuse. he could be right cause i never disconnected the battery. i hope thats it!!!

 

[Dimitrios]

well not the fuse. ive checked them all. anything else i should check?

Hey D, I thought you wanted to get rid of that thing? is this how you talk yourself into liking the car again?

Actually, referring to the temperature gauge, my Viper would do this when I had a large air bubble trapped in the cooling system. Hasn't done it for a while now that I've gotten all the air out of it.

Ya, make sure you get all the air out. Especially if you went to a 180 thromostat when you did the blower install. You may have some air traped.

D- if you think trapped air may be the prob, check this link on burping your system

directions are great & helped me out a few months ago when my thermo gasket went

D- check the link for Seans pcm as I told you that it will probabally throw misfire codes as mine did.www.roeracing.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=8&idproduct=31 as far as air in system I dont think that is your problem due to the fact that coolant was only drained about 1-2 quarts to install 45 elbow because you already had 180 stat. I think you are going to find some electrical(existing)problem as nothing in the electrical system was touched. your gauge should not shoot to 250 when car is cold and you turn key on. the vec1 has nothing to do with it.

Who installed Blower? D if you need any help drop me a note.I'm close by. I have a good friend who does blowers. On 7 sec cars.Let me know

 

[Dimitrios]

spoke to chuck again and said it might be the return wire from alt into battery. it has a fuse between the green wire and have to see if its blown.

Get it fixed tonight and race tomorrow...
