Re: [DML] how hot is too hot? Coolant temp questions



All DeLoreans (and all other cars, for that matter) should operate
very close to their thermostat rating.  If you are running higher
temperatures, you have a cooling problem.  That means you
should be somewhere in the 170-190 range, even in the dead of
winter.
