Where does your temp needle stick?

[Oreopride18]

This mainly applies to 90-94's but I'm sure it's mostly the same.

When I first had my car it sat at the lower end of the "boat." (It's an eagle; to you Mitsu guys it would sit between the T and E)

Major meltdown blah blah blah it's been a few months since that little incident. My car runs fine but the needles stays in the direct middle. I'd consider this weird except everyone seems to have different places it sits at. I have one friend with a DSM whose car just barely hits the "T." I know another person who has one that sits in the middle.

So I just want everyone's input on this. You can say "Use a logger" (I do) but it's not like I can drive with a laptop in my car 24/7 and the temp gauge has saved me from blowing up this car on....numerous occasions.

Mines about dead center, never moves after that.

A hair under the center, well after I replaced my fan that didn't work.

That "boat" is a thermometer in fluid.

If you're anywhere around the middle, don't be concerned.

They will all be in the middle of they are still at the factory calibration.

The middle is like 180 degrees to 220 degrees.

mines about an 1/8" bleow the middle

mine is all the way to the top of the so called boat, I haven't overheated yet, so I think the calibration is off but I'm fine..........

 

[Mike1992]

Mines sits right in between the "E" and the "M"

Exactly.

Using a logger, the only time my gauge ever goes up from the middle is at 223.

Mine points between the T and the E.
