Search across the entire site Search. Dont want to start throwing parts randomly at the car.
Coolant leaks around the thermostat housing or under the vehicle.
Temperature gauge rises when accelerating. My temperature guage starts climbing to hot when i drive fast. I doesnt over heat when parked or. Search across the entire site Search.
Engine temp rises during acceleration. Searched and found nothing so here it goes. Just recently i noticed the engine temp goes up just after acceleration on my 92 5s-fe.
Never touches red though. Gets close but not in the red. A few seconds after im cruising temp goes back down to normal.
At a stop it doesnt go up either. When I first accelerate to highway speed from my car being off all dayovernight my cars temp gauge rises into the red but then quickly goes back down to normal and remains so for the duration of my drive. The 195 maybe 190 thermostats are the correct ones for these diesels.
The lower temp stats will probably only mask the real problem. Check and clean the other stuff as suggested earlier. The stock fan and clutch are sufficient to cool these engines IF THE FAN CLUTCH IS ENGAGING AT AN APPROPRIATE TEMPERATURE.
The temperature gauge on the control panel reads low going to zero when accelerating much lower than its normal operating temp around 165-170. On August 11 2017. Temperature gauge spikes up after driving for about 5–10 minutes then returns just as quick to normal.
Happening more lately wheezing traffic causing engine to sound likes its working harder to accelerate and. The temp gauge is back to fluctuating and causing funky idle when the temp gauge drops to zero the idle shoots up. Ive just ran another search here to no avail so I thought Id make a post.
Dont want to start throwing parts randomly at the car. I figure it can be one of only 3 things coolant temp sensor thermostat though the car. Temperature gauge reading very high and engine overheating.
The first and potentially most alarming symptom will be the temperature gauge reading high into the red within the first 15 minutes of your vehicle engine running. Coolant leaks around the thermostat housing or under the vehicle. A vehicles temperature gauge will rise for several reasons but some causes are more difficult to identify than others.
A hot car can cause numerous problems to the engine transmission and other parts. The owner may find it difficult to drive an overheating vehicle since it will not tolerate idling or driving. Intermittent overheating problems can also be caused by low coolant air in the cooling system a bad coolant temperature sensor or even a faulty gauge.
Turning on the AC or cranking up the heat may help roll back the needle on your temp gauge depending on your problem. Image courtesy Harry Heng via Flickr Creative Commons 20. Temperature gauge rises when idling 1997 venture after about 30 minutes of driving when i am idling the temp gauge goes up and theres a burning rubber smell or rotten egg smell coming I believe from the exhaustAfter car is off awhile its fineMechanic said only thing that comes up on the diagnostic tester is a random misfire which doesnt.
Both times I would turn on the AC and it would blow cold air. I would watch the temp gauge and within a matter of 2-3 minutes the temp gauge would be pegged. It also seems to happen faster when.
Here are some more causes of a hot temperature gauge. Hoses provide a valuable function to a car. And when a hose breaks its generally bad news.
Not necessary the end of the engine but enough to cause some level of damage. A fan belt can loosen or just snap. Over time it wears and becomes less functional.
Water temp gauge fluctuates and I cant seem to nail down the problem. A couple weeks ago I split a coolant hose dumped a bunch of coolant and the engine over-heated. As I limped it off the highway and came to a stop the engine shut itself off.
That sort of scared me but the engine has been running since I replaced the split hose. Start the engine and let idle while at the same time watching the temp gauge. As the temp gauge rises check to see if the radiator fan engages.
If it doesnt therea a problem in the fan circuit. This could be a bad fan motor bad fan relay bad coolant temp sensor for the fan or a blown fuse for the fan circuit. Not sure if Ive just not noticed this before but yesterday when I accelerated to around 5500 revs I noticed the oil.
Scan tool should help dont overlook simple stuff like air in system and coolant cap. Look up head gasket issues on here as well. I know the temp gauge on mine 045 is notoriously nonaccurate and my temp fluctuates from 180-205 all the time its normal for LLY.
The fan is really loud and the temperature gauge goes up past the half way mark almost to the red line while driving or idling. When I turn on the heat it goes back to normal. Both fans are working no broken blades.
Recently when I accelrate I notice the oil pressure gauge rising. This hasnt happened in the past. It seems worst in the morning when the engine is still chilly.
Then the pressure will go up to 60. It is usually at 40. And maxes out at 80.

Now my fan is working properly it takes a very small rise in the temperature gauge a barely perceptible rise for the fan to come on. Im talking about a barely perceptible rise relative to the gauges normal position.
