Possibly the fan is not turning on until the engine is getting to hot, if you havn't already I suggest you take it in to get checked out
This fluctuation in temperature gauge readings could be caused by a faulty thermostat, air pockets in the cooling system, a malfunctioning temperature sensor, or a problem with the gauge itself. It's important to have the car inspected by a mechanic to determine the exact issue and prevent any potential overheating problems.
You need to replace temperature sensor
Could be a faulty thermostat or maybe just low on coolant.
he tripped
need to be more specific. temp of engine, or temp of AC air.
Any visible leak? Mixing with engine oil? Run engine to normal operating temperature Remove dipstick and let a drop of fluid fall on hot engine Oil will smoke Anti-freeze will sizzle Did you fill completely with thermostat open to ciculate throughout entire engine?
Water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing, fall as SNOW . Water drops that fall when the temperature is above freezing fall as RAIN .
NO YOU CANNOT DONT TRY IT!!!!If you do,the intrepid will run great for about um....an hour,then it will fall apart.its like putting reg. gas in a weedeater,good running until it burns out the engine.
Your cam bearings or crank bearings are worn to the point where your oil is no longer going to pump through the journals to the top of the engine . You need new bearings. The engine needs to be over halled.
Engines vary. The normal operating temperature for a modern (e.g., 1996+) automobile engine, manufactured for sale or use in the US, will fall between 200 and 250 degrees F. Smog equipment and computerized combustion control favor a 'hotter' running engine. The proper amount and concentration of coolant in your engine will protect it. The thermostat plays a big part in controlling it. If you buy a 185 degree thermostat it opens at 185 degrees. Same with a 195 & so on. Average engine temp (as no specific given) would be around 195 - 205 degrees. The cooling fans come on around 210 degrees approx. The temperature will vary according to driving conditions, ambient temperature etc.. Some newer engines will run in the 220 to 230 deg range.
Could be a leaking head gasket - try running engine to normal operating temperature remove oil dipstick and let a drop fall onto hot part of engine - oil will smoke coolant will sizzle
No, a gauge typically measures the amount of liquid precipitation that accumulates over a specific time period, such as rain or snow. Rain gauges capture and collect rainfall for measurement and analysis.
