Just recently the enginge temp gage will imediately go to 200 degrees while driving and will go into the red wihile stopped for a few minutes. This will happen with or without the ac on. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mr.scotty Enthusiast Jul 2, 2011, 8:13 AM Post #2 of 3 (1542 views) Re: engine running hot Sign In Do you hear your radiator cooling fan kick on? If it only over heats sitting still, that would be the first thing i would check. -------------------------------------------------------- Your only as good as your tools! zmame Veteran / Moderator Jul 2, 2011, 8:51 PM Post #3 of 3 (1534 views) Re: engine running hot Sign In Check coolant level, Operation of fans, Blockage of radiator (plugged with dirt, road tar etc..). check for flow issues one hose hot one cold when idle in park. If that all checks out pressure test and chemical test for possible headgasket issues.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
