Is the coolant flowing in the radiator? If so, the thermostat is opening. The question would be at what temperature is the thermostat opening? Tim
> Subject says it all. Engines running hot (about 3/4 of the gauge) but the radiator is cold. I've bled it twice, no help. No evidence of leakage or internal head gasket problems. If I run both heaters, I can keep the needle centered. Ambient air temp in the 30's. Traffic and speed have no effect, it does it in the city and on the highway. I'm thinking thermostat. Would that cause these symptoms? Any other ideas out there? > > Thanks, > John Flaherty > '84 GL Insufficient Funds |
