Re: Heat issues

seems hard to believe that the temp would drop 30+ degrees in that short a period of time. I would suggest that you make sure that the engine is full of coolant, AFTER it has had time to completely cool down. Secondly I would verify that the temp gauges is telling you the truth. Third, I would keep the 160 thermostat. Does the A/C quit cooling when the engine heats up? I am thinking low coolant level, bad temp sender, MAYBE bad thermostat. Do your diagnostic work first. coolant level cold, test drive, and MAKE SURE IT IS RUNNING HOT before you start replacing parts that yoou do not need.
