I've noticed over the last several weeks my temperature gauge will fluctuate somewhat. I'm very particular and certainly don't want to run my car hot so I don't like it, at all.
According to the gauge, I'm used to seeing it around 190 degrees, or somewhere close to that. On occasion, it will fluctuate up to 220-240. That seems excessive, but I'm no expert in this area, so I wanted to check in with you guys. What do your's normally run? Does it fluctuate at all?
Some further info, its been pretty hot here in So. CA. Today, high is supposed to be around 102 I think. If I run my A/C, that seems to make it go up some. I had a new radiator installed back in October.
As soon as I began to see this happening, I ordered a new thermostat and a temp. sending unit. I have not installed it yet.
Opinions and/or thoughts?
As always, thanks in advance!!
