My 98 SE V-6 ATX's temp gauge has been unusually low since I had the local dealer flush the cooling system.

Where before the flush, normal operating temp was between the "O" and "R" in "NORMAL" it is now commonplace to see the needle hovering below the "N".

The car runs no differently, so I'm at a loss to assign blame. Do you think the thermostat might be broken, or did the dealer munge up the temp sensor? Or is my temp gauge just pessimistic?


There are 10 kinds of people. Those who can read binary, and those who can't.
