I have a 97 Cobra and I keep having this cooling problem despite a new radiator and thermostat. The car will drive fine, then start to warm up, but when it does it goes all the way to the L in normal. It will stay there for about 5 minutes then drop back down to the R/M in normal. Something is coming on too late or something. My heater core is bypassed. Could that affect it? Please help .I dont wanna have to take it into Ford and get raped by their prices to fix it. I did buy a 160 degree fan switch since I installed a 160 degree thermostat, but the the 3/8 taping tool wont fit on any drill unless its a monster $500 one. I doubt it could be the thermostat, cause my other 97 has it and it runs fine. Oh and I installed a 180 degree thermostst and it did the same thing, so Im pretty shure its not because of the thermostat. I need some really smart tech people responding and I dont wanna hear some idiot say," check the guage" because the guage functions properly. This is my second time posting with this problem. Thanks in advance-David
