Re: tempture gauge

Re: tempture gauge
3/4ths is completely normal if you're just sitting in the same spot

Re: tempture gauge
can be any of the following...
bad sensor, water pump, air in system, thermostat. Most likely air in the system. Mine ran 1/2 ( 195) in normal temps 3/4 during the summer at a stop light with the fan running pretty much all the time.
