Re: engine coolant temp sensor in olds 88

I was planning on changing the thermostat next, but the gentlemen said that in his case it did not help.

I believe that the little manual that came with the car said that the thermostat should kick in at about 198 F. Is it true that the fans don't come on till 212? That really seems very hot.

Any other suggestions as what to try would be very appreciated.


Thanks,
Stan
