    So bear with this two minute video of driving around the block. But I installed an EGT gauge, wired it up, put in the probe, but this is the reading it gives me while driving around the block. Compared to my G8 which goes anywhere from 600 to 1300 degrees.

    Can't see the video where i'm located. Mind filling us in on what is wrong? Most of us don't have EGT gauges and won't know what to expect from one either.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Yeah I didn't realize the probe was loose. I put it in and it seems to read more normal.

    This is a normal EGT reading (from my G8 on the highway around 90mph)

    Well.. as mentioned, I have no experience with EGT or what it means to you in a gas application. Meanwhile, yes.. nice pod you are welcome and my post kept your thread near the top of new posts for others to see.

    See what I did there?
