Wild eot #'s brand new sensor
Alright guys back again with another question. so my eot is wild after warm up from 100* to normal operating temperature. IE from 195* to 177* to 186* back to normal I've seen it as low as 100*. ect stays 190*-195* at all times. I have replaced my sensor. where can I start troubleshooting this issue? Today it caused my cel and a high eot alarm, fan to come on etc. must have spiked for a second and sounded the alarm. so any help would be appreciated.

Your connector is bad or the wires to the connector are shorting together. What did a cold soak reveal... they were within a degree or two? That would show the sensor wasn't bad, but the connector or the wires to the connector...

You may see that the wires look stressed by a discoloration, lighter color near the connector, may give you a bleached out appearance. Maybe separate the wire, add a piece of electrical tape between them or just replace the pigtail.
Have someone watch the gauge when it's happening, wiggle the wires to see if it makes a difference.... go from there.

put some electrical tape between the pigtail wires they dont look too good I may have to replace it. will have to see if that's it tomorrow though haven't had a chance to operationally test it. hopefully that's it cause the rest of the wires are covered in the insulation from the factory and I would rather not take it off.
