Hey guys,
Over the last few months, the temperature in my tercel has slowly been climbing.. If I get into it and it's cold, it only takes about 10-15 minutes of any type of driving to get it up to just a smidge under the red area.. It never goes into the red area, but it worries me that it's getting this hot.. On one occassion I noticed that the radiator was full, but the overflow was dry.. I put a bunch of water into the overflow, and it was fine for a while.. but in a day or two it's back up to it's old tricks.
I'm going to have some one on one time with my car this weekend.. Can anyone suggest what steps I should take to figure out what the cause is, and in what order I should do them?
If it's the head gasket, I'm going to say goodbye to this puppy and get something else.
Thanks, Duane
