Re: temp problem
just a fair warning..... our cars run at 200* normally
fan switch stock operates at 210* i believe, nothing to worry about lol youre not driving a 4 banger, 4 more cylinders equal 4 more detonations
not an issue lol

Re: temp problem

Re: temp problem
sounds like my car. its the extra air moving over the engine/radiator cooling it down, doesn't sound like a problem to me

Re: temp problem
its just our cars your gauges are what? 20 years old at this point i hookup up a tech 1 on mine and the cts was reading to them ecm at 210* closed loop but the gauge was pegged
i installed an after market gauge the goes into the cts spot it reads dead on 200* when idling, then 180* at cruisin speeds.
the temp change is normal
