I noticed today that the engine temp doesnt stay steady but it never over heats... Range from 80 when moving to what I would guess is 90-95 when at a stop for a while. Time for a new thermostat?

or your cooling fan isn't coming on

Its weird that you say that because I didnt notice it come on until it was already running hot... What would cause this?

if original radiator and water pump...time to replace all including thermostat

austinholloman

Ill start with the cheaper items...

If the fans are not coming on I would check the fuses.
If they come on late or intermintent might be issue with temp sensors

If it has been a while replace the thermostat, do coolant flush

austinholloman

I think its the temp sensor for sure. Ill change fluid first.

At what temp should the fans come on, because they are popping on at about 100-115??? I don't want to buy the wrong temp sensor either... Is it the coolant temp senor or some thing else?

Gullwing

Do all the fans come on. If the A/C is on the fans should run. If not then I think one set come on at 100-105 and the other 115??? not really sure

austinholloman

Well what would cause the fans not to run while the AC is on?

Gullwing

Fuse, sensor...

Any time mine did not work it was always the fuse

check number 3 fuse I think it is. Mine usually turn in within a minute of turning on my ac. However, my temp rises between 80-110 depending on if i ma driving or sitting. If I wait in a drive thru for food, it gets too hot and I have to rev the engine to cool it down.
