EGT barely reads anymore

[Tra2xx]

I have a westach EGT guage and I installed it on my new setup after using it on my old set up for quite some time, but now it doesn't work nearly as well.

It goes up to about 400F when I floor it, and I know my car isn't making EGT's that low. I did however, in attempt to undo it from my old setup grab a part of it with pliers (Didn't mean to grab the line from the probe to the guage, but I did)

So I assume I crimped the line and it isn't getting the proper responce back... so my question is: How can I fix that?? Or will I need a new line

The EGT probes need to be replaced after extensive use to maintain accuracy. Get a new one.

You're running really rich, just lean it out.

I had the same symptoms you have. In my case the probe broke off and went thru the turbine blades which basically ruined them. I would check the probe out.

Yup, probe time.

Probe

From what I've been hearing, the cheaper probes only last 1-2 years of "daily use". If you spend a fortune on a probe, it might last 3-4 years
