how hot???
how hot???
my temp gauge on my sierra goes all the way to the top at normal operating temp (once its heated up after 10mins)..
the engine was runnning fine but now it keeps stalling when i slow down and the revs drop below 2000rpm, even at idle.
so would that have to do with the temp gauge or is there something wrong with the thermostat??? because it was running awsome but now it stalls below 2000rpm and i only just noticed the temp gauge after the stalling....
what happend???

just beat a Marlin in a swimming race
Some ways to check....
Use a thermometer, but be careful because it will be hot either way...
Pull the thermostat all the way out of the housing, and run it with out one. Does it still get that high on the gague?
Whats the resistance reading at cold, and hot from the sender unit?
Is the radiator full of fluid, and presurizing properly?
Let us know.....

all good!!!! i got under the engine and had a good look for any leaks and BAM!!! coolant leaking from a pipe on the pump shaft, must bumped it while adjustin a clamp on another hose i didnt notice the coolant puddle as the ground was wet where the car was!!!
toped it up an the temp is about 1/3 on the gauge so all is fine except the stalling thing???
i did notice oil or i think its oil on the number 2 spark plug!!! not alot but some as number 3 was the same??? maybe seal it up with locktight adhesive???

Seal your spark plugs with locktight Im assuming that you have some oil residue exiting the spark plug threads. If so just pull em out, clean em up, check the washer isnt fully mangled and retighten them.islandvitara wrote:
