You posted that before and you're thinking too hard. Check the post below, if your thermo is stuck open it'd have to be 40 below out to never get heat. And in florida I doubt that happens much.Captain caveman wrote:Thermostat my friend
Not to be a dick but Whats normal? our Gauges on the PF do not show the temp on a digital gauge but on a analog non accurate gauge. Is somewere around the middle considered normal? Like I said the Coolant temp sensor reads right on the block were the most heat is generated. In the intake its not that temp.G35TR wrote:Interesting. Well I noticed the problem return in the past month or so (with the cooler weather), and I just drained and flushed the coolant this past weekend. This being said, the problem still exists. Also, the water temp is showing normal.

I can only consider normal as it is described by Nissan in the vehicle's "Owner's Manual", which would be the middle area of the coolant temp. gauge.Captain caveman wrote:Not to be a dick but Whats normal? our Gauges on the PF do not show the temp on a digital gauge but on a analog non accurate gauge.

I hate to see you do a coolant flush two times with out changing it thermo. [/b]
Typically this would be a yes. But it doesn't have to be a large leak to let air in. There doesn't necessarily have to be a puddle on the floor. If you have air bubbles in your system you have a leak. Prior to just throwing $$$ at it (in this case you said so you are taking it to a dealer since it is under warranty so you aren't spending anything) and replacing parts like a thermostat the free route should be explored. Driving the front of a Pathy up on ramps, opening the radiator cap and running the car to full operating temp would/should purge any bubbles.G35TR wrote:Blink, if it were in fact a leak which allowed air into the system, wouldn't coolant also be leaking out?
