Check to see if your air filter is clogged (dust in engines is a common problem in regions with high temps), other possibilities are a faulty IAC (Intake Air Temperature) sensor, or an Engine Coolant Temperature sensor. Hope that helped
The low-speed fan will come on when your engine temperature reaches 180 degrees. The high speed fan will come on. When the engine temperature reaches 200 degrees.
Sounds like a wheel bearing.
Put a 195 degree thermostat in it and see what it reads. Are you SURE the GAUGE is not LIEING to you ???
Engine surge in a 2004 Kia Sedona is often caused by a clogged fuel filter or dirty injectors. When insufficient fuel reaches the engine, it will exhibit these symptoms.
In most cases it is 195-205 degrees F. This is the temperature at which an internal combustion engine performs it's best. And the faster the engine reaches this temperature the better.
As a "heat engine", a car engine must rid itself of heat to continue. Efficiency of the heat engine depends on the difference in temperature; therefore, as the temperature outside reaches the temperature inside, the engine stops.
Its job is to block the flow of coolant to the radiator until the engine has warmed up. When the engine is cold, no coolant flows through the engine. Once the engine reaches its operating temperature (generally about 200 degrees F, 95 degrees C), the thermostat opens. By letting the engine warm up as quickly as possible, the thermostat reduces engine wear, deposits and emissions.
Could be, Restricted air flow through outside of radiator, Restricted coolant flow through inside of radiator, Faulty fan clutch, Missing or broken radiator fan shroud, Faulty thermostat, Low on coolant,
a temperature sensor that detects when the car reaches a certain temperature before it overheats which kicks on the fan to cool the engine. the fan may not be grounded properly which causes the blowing of fuses to prevent a fire.
My 1992 PA with a 3.8 engine has a a 195 degree thermostat. This causes the normal engine temperature to be about 205 degrees. The pressure cap will keep the fluid from boiling up to about 240 degrees.
A 1994 Corvette might run rough when the temperature of the engine reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit because of a blown head gasket. This is also a symptom of a cracked block.
The fans are controlled by a temperature switch, which normally turns the fans on when the engine temp reaches about 212 to 220 degrees.
