Temp Gauge Problem

[Theodore]

so im driving home and the temp gauge started going hot, middle hot middle.

and before that there was alot of heat comming outta the car on the inside from all over.

Also iv had that dam radiator light going on and off, also i dont know if this has anything to do with it but there is bogging out when taking off.

How much fluid do you have?

You might have leak

I had the exact problem. Took it to the dealer and they said my gauge was broke...a month or so later my radiator blew up.

sounds like its either youre radiatior, or it could have a leak or be really low on coolant. Have it checked out anywhere but the dealer. Good luck

i added coolant and it stays in that little container in the front, it doesnt pump through the radiator it stays in the reserve. And today the bogging got more intense does it pretty much through out driving the car, not as noticable at higher rpms though.

Anyone know how to get that antifreeze pumping through the radiator or do i have to toatlly flush out the old anti freeze from the radiator???????????

Any smoke form the tailpipe?

You might have a blown headgasket.

I had the same problem.... Please use Lexus/Toyota parts...I changed my thermostat with a new Toyota thermostat(not aftermarket) and I got a radiator flush and now the car runs fine
