davdes44 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I just had major engine work done to my 93 lexus gs300 and im wondering why the temp guage isnt moving on startup it doesnt budge, and it stays under C and its summertime! How can i be sure that the system is working at all? What could be the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will smith Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Thermostat/Water Temp Gauge Problem So the weather here has been cold (30-50s) during the day and colder at night. I brought the Beast out last week for a couple of day trips. A couple times while cruising, the temp gauge needle just shot up to the red. I shut the car off immediately both times and started it right back up and the needle went right back to normal. So after some reading people are saying it could be the TStat or a sensor. Let me give you some more symptom's.. I noticed during this cold weather that while cruising, the temp gauge shows the tempature around the 1st dot on the left. But when in traffic and stops, it does move all of the way up to the middle section or really close. Final sympton, one of the times the needle shot to red, the SES light suddenly came on and has been on. I do not, however, have the codes as I dont' have a scanner for my car yet ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ www.floatingtank.at sports nutrition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
