After installing it, I set up the gauge to select the parameters I wished to view. In order to keep tabs on coolant temperature, I selected cylinder head temperature as one of the parameters. Ford placed this cylinder head temperature sensor next to the #4 cylinder, which is the one that runs the hottest. For the second parameter, I selected to cycle through wideband air/fuel ratio of bank #2 (The Coyote motor has two wideband air/fuel sensors, one for each cylinder bank) and commanded air/fuel ratio (This is the A/F ratio the PCM is currently attempting to reach).
Here’s the gauge installed. You can see it’s displaying wideband air/fuel ratio and cylinder head temperature.
This is the gauge at night. I apologize for the blurriness; it’s in a rather awkward position to photograph.Since the gauge reads the CAN-BUS, the Aeroforce Interceptor automatically turns on with the ignition and turns itself off after the vehicle is shut off. Having access to a cylinder temperature gauge and a wideband air/fuel gauge with such simple installation is awesome. I can now keep tabs on several important parameters to monitor the health of my fuel and coolant systems.
With these items installed, our Grey Project Mustang 5.0 is ready for the next season. If it ever stops snowing, that is.
