I noticed on the way to work today that my temp seemed a bit high. I drive about 15 miles to work. About 5 of it stop and go traffic. I had the heat on and noticed at the light that I was getting hot so I turned it off and glanced at the gauge. It was about 90. Then when I started driving again it creeped to about 95. Seemed like this was all of a sudden. I'm not sure about the cooling system in these. I saw some other posts about crankshaft pulley/harmonic balancer going bad. Where should I start my diagnosis? I guess I should check the radiator. Not sure if these are like other vehicles. Any ideas?

I guess if you start hitting the 120 mark then you have something to be concerned about. But between 80-95 should be normal. Have you noticed anything different? Just to be safe, check your coolant level.

Thanks Ken. No it hasnt gotten that high. Its right in the middle of the line after the 80. Around 95+. I will check the coolant level. Thank you.
