I just went on a 2 hour drive and my temp gauge didnt move at all...Therefore the car wasnt putting out very good heat or anything. What could be wrong with it? The temp gauge just stayed on the level that it does when you first start it up...1 little bar...usually mine would stay at the half way mark and thats it. Any ideas would help! Thanks!

 

Check to make sure the radiator fan isn't stuck on. Also, try replacing your thermostat. Mine opens too early so I never warm up past 2 bars in winter

 

thanks...anyone else have any other ideas?

It sounds like your thermostat is stuck open. My car kinda does the same thing, except my temp gauge goes to normal and my thermostat is new. My heat just doesnt really get hot at all. So I'd like to know if you find the problem.

 

Well yesterday I took a 2 hour drive non stop on I-75 and the temp didnt heat up or anything. Then I drove the 2 hours back and it still didnt do anything. I got in it today and drove 5 minutes to the mall, then the temp went to where it normally is. I checked the radiator fan and it wasnt on. Soo, I really dont know what it is just yet...But a new motor is coming soon so...Hopefully it will be replaced or the problem will be taken care of.

 

Forgot to mention that it is a 93 Si. Sorry!

 

Hey dude I don't know how cold it gets over there but I'm pretty sure there is no way that your water/coolant is staying that cold after you been driving for a while.

So my suggestion to you buddy is...check your CTS because I would say it's bad.

Thats what i was thinking but if that were the case wouldnt it still blow hot air?
