What would cause no circulation in radiator?
If the temp gauge reads normal and the engine is not overheating, the thermostat is doing its job. The thermostat maintains the coolant temp by opening and closing allowing the coolant to flow or not to flow. When it is closed the coolant doesn't circulate.
What does a Coolant Temperature Sensor do?
the coolant temp sensor( cts) reads the temp of the engine and adjust the fuel air mixture depending on the temp. if its cold out the sensor will adjust for more fuel to ease the start of the engine. ADDITIONAL: The Coolant Temperature Sensor measures the temp of the coolant, not the engine. The sensor controls the thermo fans on/off. depending upon temperature. The actual engine temperature sensor is on top of the engine and does not control the fans. If the fans do not switch on at any temperature, disconnect the 2 wire connector from the sensor (Usually at the bottom of the radiator) If fans start up with connector disconnected, replace the sensor.
What does a Temperature Switch do?
the fuction of the temp switch. is to comunicate with your car computer and register the temperature on your cars gauge. to let you know how hot your car is running or if its at risk of over heating. whitch if occurs can cause very expensive repairs
What is the celsius temp when the Fahrenheit temp is 350?
350ºF = 176.7ºC
What is the equation for changing Celsius to kelvin?
Temp. Celsius = Temp. Kelvin - 273.15
Your temp gauge stays in hot Flushed radiator changed heat sensor and replaced thermostat to no avail?
Test gauge function with a mechanical gauge to get actual engine temp.

Why would water boil in your radiator but the temp gauge is at normal?
Because the temp gauge is not giving you the temperature of the water/steam in the radiator. You may have a bad head gasket or a cracked head causing the coolant to have that boiling effect.
Why does the radiator overflow out of radiator cap when the temp gauge says the engine temp is normal?
Sounds like you need a new radiator cap, you can get the cap tested to see if it is holding the rated pressure.
What is it when the temperature gauge doenot rise and the radiator runs hot?
Broken Temp guage
Why would my 1997 jeep wrangler temperature gauge spike and themn show normal temp?
low coolant and/or radiator leak or maby a bad temp sensor low coolant and/or radiator leak or maby a bad temp sensor
91 Geo Storm GSI engine temp gauge reads hot upper radiator hose is hot but lower isn't what gives?
A clog in the radiator will do this.
Where is the outside temp gauge located on a 97 park ave?
Center of radiator at the bottom and right in front. cant miss it
Your water temp gauge is always moving upside down you changed the radiator hosesintake manifold gasketthermostat and is the same there is no leak?
check the fins on the radiator if they are loose you need to replace it
Could a dirty radiator be the reason a 2001 malibu is registering over the halfway on the temp gauge after the thermostat has been replaced?
Yes
Why doesn't my RPM gauge and temp gauge work?
why doesn't my rpm gauge and temp gauge, fuel gauge not work
What is causing your temperature gauge to be in the cold position and radiator fluid to leak?
A low coolant level could cause the temp gauge not to read correctly. A faulty temp gauge sending unit could also be the cause. The coolant leak, you would have to find the source of the leak to determine the cause.
