My temperature problem okay guys i have a really important question!!!!!
My temperature on the car will not move! its like if its stuck, and the fans are coming on when the car is stopped. I came from work about a 15 minute drive and then turned it off. about 45 minutes later i went to turn the caron and the temperature gauge looked extrmely low drove it for like 5 minutes and turned it off. Is this normal? i changed the radiator to a new one about one year ago and the thermostat about 2 months ago with a full flush! any ideas?
Is the car safe to drive?

So after a 15 minute drive and a 45 minute rest the temperature is low? With a 45 min rest the temperature would go down significantly. The temperature also would not go past 160 or 170 depending on your T stat or shouldnt move past that at least...
As long as its moving a little I would say your safe.

Hey guys already figured it put it was a the coolant temperature sensor by the top of the heads by the first plug! The plastic piece just came of the actual sensor! Replaced with a new one for 15 at advanced auto and in like 5 minutes!! Thanks guys
