[doc] Temperature Gauge (Please help!!)

[John Tien <johntien99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

Could someone please tell me what is the normal
running temperature of the DeLorean? What temperature
should the cooling fans kick in? And when the ignition
is off, where should the pin of the temperature gauge
points to?

I did something stupid and accidently place 9V across
the temperature gauge and it messed up the reading. I
tried to reverse the process and get the pin back to
its original place by reversing the +ve and -ve of the
9V.

When I start the car from cold it is about 1mm off the
100 oF mark and when the fan kicks in, the reading is
about 160 oF.

On neutral, I run the engine on constant 2000rpm for
about 5 minutes and the temperature stays at about 190
oF. Are these values sort of correct??

I hope I haven't made an expensive mistake... Please
tell me if things are ok :(

Regards,
John Tien
