just curious

I just went on a 60 mile trip and was checking my vitals on the car while driving, I'm just curious if everything is fine, my coolant light went on a few times and off, anyways here they are :

Speed: 124km/h ( 77mph )
Engine Load 47%
Coolant 87C to 92C ( 188F to 197F )
A/F Ratio 14.8
Air 50.8 G/S
battery 14.4V
Cat 790C ( 1454F )
Intake 66C 150F ( that was me doing around 35mph )

my coolant is not low or anything , could be my sensor..

thanks guys

Ask a stupid question get a stupid answer. That is how it works.

yeah, i know they can be bothersome, but if people just answered them anyway, and not give stupid responses, the next time someone actually searches will find many threads on the same subject with an actual response and not just "search noob " then say **** it, I'm tired of searching i'll just create one.. you get it. You can make fun of the guy all you want, but at least throw in an answer, for the next guy that may be wondering the same thing..

No, because then we just be answering the same stupid questions over, and over. And then all the good threads get buried by bullshit.

^ this car has been out for 9 years now, what are you expecting people to ask, that honestly has not already been answered somewhere? you might as well just close the forum then.. look, i know what you mean.. I search the forums and rarely find anything i'm looking for cause all that comes up is mpg and oil threads... so why not have a live chatroom, where people can ask these types of questions.. and whoever is in the room may help if not people can keep asking until their faces turn blue, as it will not congest the rest of the forum with bs threads.. if i can be moderator for about 2 days id stay up all night just getting of rid of bs threads.. but I think the chatroom is a good idea.. what do you think ?

How are you monitoring your vitals?
Your intake temp seems rather high. They shouldn't really be more than 10 degrees above ambient...

Also, I'd put my money on a fucked up sensor, as long as your coolant level is fine

^ i took it for another ride after and it showed 39C this time... its only 25C here... sensor ordered, not sure what else it may be.


I bought an obd2 bluetooth adapter.. and since i have an android phone.. i downloaded torque ( paid version for 4 bucks give more info) pretty neat app, gets rid of cel's shows you your hp aswell, but not sure how accurate it is, best i ever did was 181hp. im assuming thats at the wheels

****, the sensor that may be fucked up is the one in the coolant tank! It can't be replaced. You either need to order a new tank, or else just ignore the light and check your coolant when you check your oil.
