"2.3l Duratec engines have CHT(cylinder head temp) sensor and some also had ECT(engine cooling temp) sensor, but not all, V6 engines all had ECT and no CHT
Whats the CHT showing at these times?...CHT sensor reads temp of metal in the head, not coolant"
I think what I was worried about was the truck running too hot but it seems like the CHT sensor is reading correctly.
I think I might have an air pocket somehow, but I think it was wiring. I'm still trouble shooting but it hasn't happened again, after moving wires around and ziptie a harness in place/out of the way.
Over the weekend I'm going to jack the front end up of the truck and try to work out any air pockets that might be in place.
I'll update if I find out any more information via trouble shooting.
