I have a 94 4-cyl Auto and recently the temp gauge needle approaches the H mark (especially when the car is runnin in the Park position, not while driving) I have changed the radiator and the new one holds pressure fine. Could it be just a faulty temp sensor, water pump or something else? Please help.

if it goes up really hot when you're not moving, then check to make sure your fan is coming on. also was the thermostat replaced?

if you're fan isn't working i'm not sure how you trouble shoot it but start by looking at the fuse and relays.

i had the same problem.. first check to see if u have any hoses leaking.. that the easiest.. if not then check into the thermostat and if thats fine u might wanna check ur water pump too. hope that helps u out a bit

Thanks a lot guys. I'll get on it and let you know what it was.

Also, trying flushing the system and checking for air bubbles but squeezing the hose.

 

[AEGreg]

Which hose do you refer to?

 

[LandoLakes]

The radiator hose, I just squeezed it until i saw very minimal bubbles come out. But also you can check the head gasket.

test the coolant sender and gauge... sometimes its the little things

I ran the car with the radiator cap off and squeezed some small bubbles out. However, after a minute or two the coolant level rose and was pouring out of the radiator, so I had to shut off the engine. I am going to check the water pump too. Thanks for all of your input.
