Hello all,

I've been having problems with my temperature going nearly into the red after driving for about 30 minutes. I didn't have this problem until it started getting hot out, of course. I ordered a new thermostat as well as a coolant temp gauge. Haven't received them yet, but hopefully they will resolve the issue. I haven't been able to use my AC and have had to turn on the heat whenever the thermometer goes near the read. Also, many times after shutting of my car, even after short rides, I can hear the fan still running when I step out of the car. I've lots of coolant/radiator problems with this car so far. The coolant tank and the radiator have been replaced in the past year. I'm hoping that replacing the therm and coolant gauge will resolve the problems - I'm I too hopeful?

Thanks!

you have bad temp sensor drain a little coolant first.
after replacing it, touch batt cables together for 10 sec to reset adaptives and put key in posII when putting neg cable back on batt. to prevent error codes
