doesn't that also work the temperature gauge in your cluster? cuz that still works. if I drive it all day, it'll never overheat. It will ONLY over heat when the car isn't in motion. so that led me to conclude that the radiator isn't clogged cuz once air starts to cool the antifreeze, the temp immediately drops. if there are two sensors... the thermoswitch is on the thermostat housing (thermostat was replaced <2 years ago) where is the sensor that tells mr. ecu how hot the car is and in turn controls the temperature gauge?
thanks guys. stupid car.. gotta keep on drivin!
If you're overheating at idle, then your fan is not turning on or your radiator is fuked. When the car is moving, air goes through the radiator and cools the coolant; therefore, no overheating.
