It probably needs a thermostat. The Chrysler 2.7 litre engine is bad about getting air into the cooling system and needs to have the air bled out. The temperature sensor is located at the top of the engine, just left of the intake manifold as you stand in front of the car. Also, right next to the air bleed manifold. Be careful, the bleed manifold is mostly plastic and is easy to break. With the car running, attach a preferably clear plastic hose to the top of the air bleed manifold fitting and put the other end into an empty jar or bottle. Now, open the bleed fitting by turning clockwise and watch the antifreeze water mixture air bubbles in the hose until the flow is clear of all air bubbles. It may be necessary to complete this task two or more times. As stated above, the temperature sensor is at the top of the engine and when it is low on water, there is no water reaching the sensor, so when you speed up the engine rpm, the water is pumped up into the top of the engine reaching the sensor and causing the water temperature sensor to show the temperature increase. Low water level shows low temperature readings.
In the middle (about 195 degrees).
Over temperature warning.
Check your grounding on your temp sending unit.
The fuel level sensor is on the fuel pump, in the fuel tank.
The odometer unit has failed and will need replaced.
You need to check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge.
You need to find out where the leak is from and have it fixed.
yes it can
A likely cause is a failing instrument cluster.
Mid point of the gauge.
Mine is not a '96, but on this car and others I have owned - not all Chryslers - the location and amperage of each of the fuses has been detailed in the owner's manual. Check there if you haven't already.
Your car has a thermostat that limits the coolant from circulating until the motor is warm, the car should run under water's boiling temperature, depending on a set temperature according to the rating of the thermostat. in layman's terms, your temperature gauge should run from middle to 3/4 when operating. If the temperature gauge doesn't ever reach the red marker on the gauge you should have nothing to worry about.All cars must reach a certain temperature to burn fuel efficiently. A cold engine does not properly burn fuel. I owned an older Sebring which would take 5-10 minutes to warm up on a 20F day.
