From startup to approximately one mile - city driving - the gauge remained on the cold peg - then all of a sudden it shot up to 2/5 toward the red (not quite half way) back to the cold peg, back up to 2/5, back to cold peg and back again to the 2/5 mark all in about 10/15 seconds after which it remained at the 2/5 mark for 5 or 6 minutes and then it went back down to the cold peg and remained there until I returned home, which was approximately 10 minutes later. Any words of wisdom out there as to what might have went wrong?

Just like 7P's there is always exception and I'm the second one. Me and Mike (mikedamageinc) did this mod yesterday afternoon 12/20/08. We soldered the 110/50 ohm resistors and put everything back up. I cranked the engine and let it idle for about 10 to 15 minutes to warm it up but the needle just stayed on the 2/5 mark and never goes up in the middle where it usually stays in 10 minutes warm up. So I decided to drive it for about 3 miles to see if it goes up at least to the middle part but it did not and it was fluctuating between 2/5 and cold peg. The outside temperature was about 48 to 51 degrees at the time I was driving it.
So the question are:
1. Can I drive the rig for at least two days before I can get back to the resoldering part?
2. Is there any effect to the ECU if it keeps on fluctuating just like what I described above?
3. Is it possible that the resistors we put in are bad resistors?

Have you guys heard from 7P's if he get it to work using a lot of flux when he resoldered the resistors?
