    Confused

    Well I did the 5 speed swap. Now my temp guage gets a little hot. Its almost 90 during the day. But its gets 2 mm past half and when driving it a tab bit hard it gets closer to 3/4. Whats happening? I checked the coolant?


    edit:

    Now it does this even at the middle of the night? Its only 70 degrees out? Maybe a coolent flush would help? Also sometimes the car gases by itself. I check the lines but they re clear of junk and stuff. I look at the gas pedal and its not attached??

    If it's 90 outside, that's fine.

          I need to fix it... because my heater isnt even remotely warm. At night/early morning when its cold enough to want heat.. it wont even hit 1/4 lol.

            It's between 110-115F out everyday here, and mine only hits 1/4. Maybe a tad higher at a long light.

              It was 90-95 where I was at last weekend and mine only reached half when I pushed it a bit.

                Mine's usually a bit below 1/2, and that's been the same since I've had it. I got it in May, so the weather has been pretty much the same.
