    Running Hot

    After reading through this thead again, seeing your progress through the testing and troubleshooting, I've come to the conclusion that you are seeing a much more active temp gauge now that it's modified and reading more accurately. If I'm correct, you've modified it recently and that's when you...

    I tend to agree with @baggar11. I was going to suggest similar actions, but have doubts that your 2 yr old OEM thermostat is the culprit. Like I said before, if your thermostat is bad, you'd see a wider range of overheating. Also, not to :deadhorse:, but make sure your radiator is sealed so the...

    OP's is a '93 and mine is a '94 - both a OBD1 which which won't work with a OBD2 reader. Also, OP's 1st post mentions a modified temp gauge. So is mine. Biggest and best thing OP has done is getting away from bronze/copper radiator.

    OP's problem occurs when idling or at slow speeds. IMHO that is a fan/airflow problem. If it was thermostat, vehicle speed wouldn't matter as much. And yes, radiator seal is essential for extreme heat performance - ask the AZ crew.

    You can step on the gas pedal to run the engine about 1200-1500 rpm and see if it sounds like the "start up roar". That should tell you if it is fully engaged. Other than that, I'm not sure how you could test it.

    Seal is also needed between radiator and body/mount. I believe that's even more important given it's possibly a bigger gap. Another thing to check: Does the fan clutch ramp up to be fully engaged (most roar or loudest) to move the most air when idling hot?

    Did you seal the radiator/shroud with foam rubber or equivalent when TYC was installed? In extreme heat it is imperative and necessary to get good air flow through A/C and engine radiators.
