Bad pyro??

Well I think I've got a bad pyro but figured I'd see what you guys are running temp wise. DS manifold, tapped, autometer phantom series 2000* (shoulda got the 1600) only have about 150* at idle. Took it for a ride and even with the TW on extreme I didn't get over 200*... Got out the inferred thermometer and the up pipes are at 150-160*, same as gauge.
Double checked the wiring and it's all correct....Thanks!

Something is wrong thats for sure. Not sure what. Triple check the wiring then give Autometer a call.

I'm thinking it might be a bad connection inside the thermocouple. I pulled it back out of the manifold and it started working?? Guess just wait and see.
