I was driving to school today with the AC off and it was a cool day (no up hill driving) and I noticed the temprature gage was rising past its normal 'half way mark' and it continued to rise until jsut before the redline, then it dropped again. This happened about 4 or 5 times, I pulled over and there was no sign of the engine overheating, has this happened to anyone?
anyone know what it is?? thanks -------------------- ![]() |

i'd check your thermostat, radiator, hoses and if you can get to itm the upper timing cover and look for seepage outta the bottom of the water pump...if you see any anitfreeze in there, you need a waterpump.
