oohryry Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 It was 100 degrees the other day and I was in the Popeyes drive thru ordering chicken when I noticed after waiting about 6 minutes idle for my food, the temperature gauge went right below the Hot marker. I put it in neutral and hit the accelerator and it started to go back down some. Once I started driving it went back to normal shortly. Is this normal, I don't think so. Do I need a new radiator or fan or something or should I just have my coolant flushed. Anyone have any experience with this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatingupblacktop Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Fan's not moving enough air. I would start with the fan clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwest Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Fan's not moving enough air. I would start with the fan clutch. And I, on the other hand, would start with the electric fan(s) not "shifting" into high speed or not running at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
