Subject:      Van running hot
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


My van is running hot for some reason. My temp needle went way high in the
gauge but the light did not go off. Just seemed odd to me to run that hot.
It was only about 80 degrees but I was traveling inland in California where
the air is much hotter and drier than on the coast where I live. I checked
the coolant level and it was OK and there are no leaks. The radiator fan
went off a couple of times then stopped soon after.


Any thoughts on why the temp needle is going up way high above the spot it
usually sits at just above the little light on the gauge? I'm wary about
taking a long trip with this condition.
