Engine temp. problem need confirmation
Having a problem with engine temp. gauge reads about 1/2 of what it should
after a 25-30 minute drive. rad hoses are hot to the touch, heater hoses hot to touch. heater air is luke warm (not as hot as it should be) I have a feeling the t-stat might be stuck open (again) are there any other possible things I may have over looked? Snow...93 XJ |

Sounds like a bad thermostat. They aren't the most reliable lately.
Flush, drain, and refil with new antifreeze is not a bad thing to think about if you are going to be messing around with the coolant.

Had the same problem with my '94 YJ when it was new, dealer changed the t-stat under warranty with a 195 degree unit. Has worked fine ever since. |
