[DMCForum] Re: Temperature gauge and car running cool



Nope -- that's the thermal time switch (for cold start valve).

Temp gauge sender is at rear of passenger side of block. Is the only
sender you can see with intake in place.

Check your coolant temperature manually by feeling driver side formed
hose. If hose is too hot to hold (yes, watch your fingers -- don't
flame me), coolant temp is at least OK.

I have never had an engine that runs as hot as the PRV (of course this
is my first aluminum block). Has anyone ever tried running without the
thermostat? Would almost imagine is superfluous. Mine opens within
minutes.
