this is after 20 minutes driving highway 60mph
54f outside.
fan is all the way on my feet.

it seems like the car get hot to the quarter only when car is on idle for about 25 min.

my gtp ran like that all the time, i figure the therm was incorrect.

My '99 does the same thing. Has for 8 years.

During the summer my GT runs at almost 210 and during the winter just above the 180 mark. It's never had a problem

195 t-stat? Try a swap. Better cool than hot imo.

**raverockstar** · 02-05-2013

Is this a faulty thermostat or just not getting hot.

on the other side. The fan isn't hot enough like it suppose to be.

**lilmidge12** · 02-05-2013

mines always at the 180 mark

Bad t-stat... Replaced it and see what happens. Cheap part n easy fix.

thats were mine was at for years, but once i replaced the ect sensor it ****ed everything up and now it reads around 205-210 mark

Bad T-stat. Had the same problem and it threw a SES light.

Ses light? Or srs. Cause I have srs light on for first 5 mins.

Does it have any connection to this that they changed to green coolant before I bought the car that damaged the tstate?

**FordMan77** · 02-05-2013

Not likely, but could have air trapped in the cooling system if it wasn't bled properly. Would explain the low heat. Hopefully they flushed the entire system before changing to green.

And SES is the same as CEL= check engine

Your SRS light is supplemental restraint system (airbags). Might want to have that one looked into.

I have a 180* T-Stat and my car always runs around that mark, well maybe a little more but under the 1/4 mark for sure usually. But my temperature always fluctuates always did with the stock TStat and the 180*
