cooling questions

when I bought my 4E it had cooling problems(mid September), then winter rolled through and now its starting to get hot again.......aaaaaaand its have cooling problems again, we got the aux cooling fan fixed but now I dont know what the normal temperature for the engine is.........Its always been either the weather or fan.

what does temp does everybody's 124 run at after say an hour of freeway driving, and one hour traffic driving?

about 90. I've seen it get close to 100 when sitting at a light with the A/C on.

as long as its not constantly near 120 its fine.

on most cars youll notice that there is a blue section and a red section and a big black/ blank section in between. ours only have a red section above 120. so as long as youre not getting near there too often you are ok.

do a search.
