| Oct 25, 2015 at 21:24 | comment | added | Chuck | @HandyHowie the temperature gauge goes from cold, then warm (half way) for a while, then climbs to H and stays there until the car is turned off and left for a while. Stays warm for a while means 3-4 minutes of appearing to run fine. | |
| Oct 25, 2015 at 21:19 | comment | added | HandyHowie | I still sounds like a problem with the thermostat. Is the temperature gauge showing a high temperature? | |

| Oct 25, 2015 at 7:40 | comment | added | Zaid | You mentioned nothing about the radiator fan. Is it electrical or does it run off the serpentine? If electrical, does the fan turn on when the car overheats? If mechanical, can you stop the fan with a newspaper roll when the engine overheats? | |
