Hey gang- first post here but I hope it pays off.
My 2001 2.3 ran the temp gauge to hot. A few times- then replaced the fan clutch, reservoir, cap, new themostat/waterpump was installed late last year.
SO... I should be good, right?
Nope. The temp gauge will peg out when it gets just above halfway. I'll turn the AC off, it goes down. Turn the engine off, it goes down.
Replaced the temp sender between #2 & #3. Worked for a DAY then we're back to failing.
Shop said there was a tiny bit of coolant in the exhaust but nothing alarming. Also said there was a code in the computer- overheat.
What else to try? I may buy an aftermarket temp gauge and see what's what. But I'd like to fix this thing right.
