Coolant Temperature Fluctuation.
Finally got the car running, and I have no idea how!! but the question I have now:
When I am sitting at idle, and I rev it up after it reaches op temp, about 15-30 seconds after I rev it, aftermarket guage goes from 95c to about 12oc very fast and then drops back down just as fast, and even the stock guage jumps up and down a little. thermostat is new, and I hotwired the fans to run just in case. after it goes up it comes back to settle at around 105c and that doesnt make me very comfortable. |
make sure your coolant is full...

Sounds like you haven't got all the air pockets out of the coolant system. Look up "burping coolant system".
|
Thanks, that is what I was hoping, I just started it up earlier and added some more coolant, I suspect this will be a routine for a while. It seemed to hold lower temps this time... is there a level sensor in the overflow jug? it was buzzing at me to fill the coolant...

It won't be "routine for a while" if you burp the coolant system; again, look up "burping coolant system" in the search function.
There is a coolant level sensor in the filler neck on front of the engine. |
