Interesting for me is the history or discovery channal, this is down right neurotic... ok ford docs set me straight..
I thought the whole reason we diesel people have egt gauges was to prevent piston and turbo melting??? Is this still the preventative action monitering and keeping egt's in check??? Or can 3 & 5 just spontaneously combust??? Lack of power with elevated egts would deffinately worry me..Iam guessing one or two cylinders could be hyperthermic and not elevate all gas temperature. What side is 3 & 5 (left) and would that be the side to put the probe??? should be more sensitive to the problem??
Thanks in advance,
