think you have otterstat problems?

[aaron_t_graham@xxxx]

Something to keep in mind for the summer:

I know, from experience and from postings on this list, that when 
people have cooling problems, they often immediately blame the 
otterstat, replace it, and are surprised when this doesn't solve 
their problems.

If your otterstat is the problem, you will find that the only way to 
keep your engine cool while idling is to turn the A/C *ON*. If this 
doesn't describe your situation, then the otterstat is almost 
certainly not the (only) problem.

Of course, the exception to this is when your otterstat wiring is 
faulty. This is easy to check by reaching under the engine and 
shorting the otterstat wires together.

I have a fanzilla (it was in there when I bought the car) so I'm not 
sure how accurate this "otterstat postulate" is for those who do not 
have a fanzilla installed. Any clarifications for those D's is 
probably welcome to the owners...
