    Hi, check the ground connections of the wiring from the ect sensor and from engine to
    body.

    Hi, did you also changed the ect sensor? There are two of them one for information for
    ecm and one for the instrument gauge,thoroughly check this.

    By the way, with a scanner you can check in live data the real operating temperature of
    the engine when the instrument gauge shows high.
