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 is the abbreviation for temperature?

The abbreviation for temperature is "Temp."


Why does temperature gauge needle move with acceleration?

during acceleration your engine is working harder and may cause the temp to go up slightly but, not much and, it should return to normal pretty quickly. If your temp is going up a lot and stays up you probably have a cooling system problem. First check to make sure you antifreeze level is correct. If not add coolant. If the problem persists you may have a stuck thermostat, a fan not coming on or worse case a blown head gasket.


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.


How does barometric pressure affect gauge pressure?

Assuming we are using a pressure transducer to measure barometric pressure, I understand that a gauge type transducer would be used. The internal diaphragm would have a fixed pressure behind it (at a guess would be at standard temp/pressure, STP, ie 20 deg C @ 1013mb), so the transducer has a reference to work against. The front of the diaphragm would be exposed to atmosphere. I would assume the reference (gauge) pressure would vary as the barometric pressure varies, as the diaphragm would move towards the side with least pressure, or at 1013mb the diapragm would be in the centre (which could be used as the null output voltage), higher than 1013mb could produce a positive voltage swing, less than 1013mb could go negative. This is all I can think of, please let me know if on the right track.

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 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.
