Re: Re: [DML] Delorean Overheating (almost)

Brian,

There are three possibilities for high engine temperature:

1. DEFECTIVE COOLING FAN TEMPERATURE SWITCH.
2. TRAPPED AIR IN THE COOLANT LINES.
3. LOW COOLANT LEVEL.
4. DEFECTIVE THERMOSTAT.

I have a question about this overheating thread. My DeLorean has never 
overheated, but the fans don't come on until the temperature gauge is almost 
to the 220 degrees mark. It's never gone above that.

Living in South Carolina, it gets very hot here in the summer. It's not 
unusual driving in stop and go town trafic with the A/C running for the gauge 
to stay near the 220 mark. Is this ok? I've bled the system, but that 
shouldn't be a problem since the fans are running because the A/C is on. 
I've installed the fan fail bypass, so that's not a problem either.
