Re: Coolant temps

[Nathan Bank <wolf@sopris.net>]

I'm pretty sure normal would be rock solid straight up. 
Mine has never moved from like a micron left of 
straight up when warm, no matter how I drive it in 
ambient temps of up to about 105 farenheit.

Could it possibly be a coolant leak... Have you checked 
your system for white crud or drips? Maybe it's a 
pressure leak in the coolant reservour? It could also 
be the thermostat... how long has the car gone without 
a coolant flush?

Just a few ideas :-)
