Normal temp gauge reading

[opalmtx]

I have a 94. The temp gauge usually stays between the o and r during city driving. If I stop at a light the fan always kicks on. Is this what everyone else's reads? If not what does your read during city driving?

This is an EXTREMELY rehashed subject.

Please take a look around on this forum.

Mine does not get much over the "M"... But I also have my fan turn on at 208 degrees versus stock's 216.

Thanks for reply. I searched before I posted. My 94 is the only car I've ever had where the fan cuts on so often, even after three thermostats.

HAH! since the removal of the A/C condensor on my 92, my temp guage almost never makes it to the M....in fact, it usally sits right above the bottom line while in motion.

Your fan is kicking on so often because it is trying to cool the car. Stock, the fan cuts on at 216 degrees and it cuts off at 192. A lot of times it could just be the guage. If you are into replacing things... Don't try 3 different t-stats(test them), try replacing the two coolant sensors.

EDIT: Best bet is to wire up an accurate gauge where the stock gauge sender is. This way you'll know what you are running.

How do you make the fan kick on sooner, my dad wants to do this to his SHO

Hook it up to a switch and give it power when you want, or your best bet is to get an LPM, TwEECer, or SC Tuner.
