Questionable Rise in Heat

2 Attachment(s)

Hello z fam!
I recently took off my manifold just do to some cleaning (lower port/TBs/checking things) and im fairly new with the z. Upon putting everything back together i notice when i come to a stop the engine bogs .. like put put put.. and then gos away. I had the ecu disconnected while performing the cleaning. I noticed my car gets a lot hotter sooner and just some spirited pulls gets up to 220 a lot quicker. I have read over stating there might be air trapped in my cooling system.. i just wanted to see what your guys opinions are? Im going to try bleeding out bubbles from what i read. any thoughts would be greatly appreciated ..have a good day

not sure if this has to do with anything but i got my scanner and came across these .. but it states pass lol ? does not have check engine light

I'm guessing intake manifold leak somewhere. Had this on a different vehicle when my intake manifold gasket failed and the symptoms were the same as you are describing.

re: Bogging
Did you perform the TB reset? This needs to be done after cleaning

re: Temps
When you say "my car gets a lot hotter" are you looking at the oil temp or pulling the actual coolant temp from an aftermarket gauge or OBDII? 220 is very common for cars running only the OEM '12+ oil cooler as it regulates oil temp with coolant. It is possible you need to burp your coolant system if you think its running slightly hot.

noticed my car running hotter because right now in cali its usually 60-80 degrees.. and in the summer its 90+ and would get to 220. Now that it is cold i was not expecting my oil temp to be 220. Yes sorry my coolant temp is always where it should be. In stop and go traffic i gets up to 220 easily .. sorry im still learning this car. On highway its at 200

i also have no oil cooler installed .. 2015 17k miles
i ordered a z1 25 row thermostatic
