95 Grand Prix Flase Temp Reading

Feb 25, 2004 5 Replies

Hello,



How often to the temp gages go bad in these cars? I have a 95 Grand Prix SE 3.1 Recently I have had problens with the temp gage red lining and the temp light would go on. Return hose is warm, but not 260! The fact that it is warm tells me that the thermistat is ok. Changed fan sensor. Changed gage sensor. Gage only thing left? Thanks for any info........


May be a stupid question, but did you check the collant? Could have vapor lock.

Yeah, coolant is fine. That was one of my 1st concerns. All of this just started to happen out of nowhere.

get it a summer thermostat anyway should be 180. the gage is 99% acurate

could be alot of things wrong. water pump, fan/fans, dirty radiator, low coolant, the car is 10 years old

Actually, it's 9 :) Not 10 until Sept :)
