Re: possible overheating

The temp gauge in the Delorean is not prone to failure so you should 
trust it. Most likely you have air in the cooling system and should 
first bleed it before doing more extensive work. DO NOT overheat the 
motor, it is very durable but will not tolerate overheating. After 
correcting the overheat you should change the motor oil and coolant. 
If an automatic change the fluid in it also.
