I've noticed recently that the temps inside the engine bay seem to be extremely high, while the temp gauge in the dash seems to be reading low. I'm pretty sure that the gauge is functioning, as it will peak ~205 just after startup, and climb back up to 190-200 while idling through town. However, on the open highway, I'm looking at temps of ~160, constant. Any idea as to the cause of this?? I'm looking towards doing a vent setup, but can't seem to find anything I like. Might end up with hood spacers.....
BTW....I'm just shade-treeing here....don't have access to a IR temp gun or any other fancy tools.
