Hey all, I have been noticing a weird phenomena, when first starting and driving Delilah. The temperature needle buries itself to the top of the gauge, and the red, low coolant indicator light blinks. Now, let's say I only ran down the road to the store, and when I come back out and start her again for the trip home-----no blinking light, no buried gauge. And it doesn't make any difference how long I drive it, it can only be a couple of blocks---5 miles, it does this weird thing. Coolant level is up to snuff, no leaks. Do you think that the coolant level sensor is on the way out? But if so, why the temperature gauge false reading?
