I have heard a lot of people have the same problem as me. It seems there is not enough air getting to the raditor at first. Then I realized that the temp gauge goes up to 3/4 at regular intervals then the fan kicks on and drops it to 1/4 in a matter of minutes.
The process then repeats. I think this is unnecessary wear and tear on the engine. Does anyone else have this problem? Is it normal? and Can it be cured by replacing the temp. sensor?
My heat is fine and it's the dead of winter and the car still warms up in a few minutes. I just don't want to subject the engine to constant heating and cooling. I only have 97600 miles.
