Another rite of passage, I guess. This evening, after driving for about ten minutes in the bitter cold here in NJ, my temperature gauge started going up pretty quickly, until the red light started flickering. So I slowed down, and then, almost immediately, it went back down to normal. I had a van-load of screaming five-year-old girls inside (it was my daughter's fifth birthday), so I couldn't hear whether then fan had turned on and/or off. After I got home, from what I could tell in the dark, everything seemed fine. Any thoughts on what might have happened? I can't do any diagnosis right now, but I'd appreciate guidance on how to proceed. Thermostat? Only other symptom during this fateful voyage is that the alternator belt, which has been squealing a bit on start-up, was squealing pretty much the whole ride instead.
