How do I fix a High idle on a 1995 Saturn SL2?
Replace the engine coolant temperature sensor. Your car has two, replace the one with the 2 wire connector
Where should the coolant temperature be when the car idles?
In a car with a properly working cooling system, the coolant temp should be around the same whether the car is idling or running. There should be little variation. The car should warm up to that temperature quickly after a cold start.The temp would depend on your car make and sometimes engine size and characteristics. In general, however, it should be a little lower than boiling. For example, the normal operating coolant temp on a jeep grand Cherokee is 210 degrees Fahrenheit.
Why is coolant in a car's radiator pressurized?
Pressurised coolant boils at a higher temperature than unpressurised
Does a car use more coolant in the cold?
In short no. Your cars cooling system is a sealed unit therefore it should not use any coolant whatsoever no matter the ambient temperature.
What is ect on automatic car?
"Engine coolant temperature" sensor
Where is coolant temp gauge sensor on 95 town car?
The 1995 Lincoln Town Car coolant temperature gauge sensor can be found on the front of the engine. The coolant temperature sensor will be a few inches above the thermostat housing.
Why is your car temperature Rising while at an idle and then goes down when you are moving?
When your car is at idle there is no air flow to cool the radiator, but when your car moves the air flow through the radiator cools it down. I would suspect the radiator fan is not coming on when it should. If the fan is working properly the engine temperature should stay fairly constant assuming the thermostat is also working properly.
Why does your 92 Camry LE V6 idle high when you first start it up?
If it's cold outside, it's because ECU use ambient temperature sensor and coolant sensor to manage RPMs. After you start the car the coolant temperature is low and ECU sets RPMs very high, when it gets warm RPMs drop down until engine reaches operating temperature.
Why does my temperature gage only works when car is idle?
Stuck open thermostat.
What does it mean when the temperature gauge rises while the car is accelerating?
You engine is generating more heat than can be removed by the cooling system. You should pull over, shut your engine and carefully (it will be very hot) remove the radiator cap to check the coolant level in your car. If you know where it is, you can check the coolant reservoir. If you are missing coolant, add enough to bring it to the correct level and monitor it for leaks. Otherwise you may have a problem with the cooling pump.
Why is the thermostat on your 206 on red when your car is cool?
The Coolant Temperature sensor is defective.
How do you bleed the coolant system of a 1995 Chevy Cavalier?
One way is to let the car idle with the reservoir cap off, called "burping" should get rid of most air pockets in the engine.
