Temp gauge and radiator

[Efifty]

Ok. I changed my thermostat in my 92 Gt auto. When i took the old one out it was stuck open. I replaced it wit a 195 stat and my car runs at this temperature most of the time. Is this right?

Also after about 2 hours of driving tonight i open the hood to check the fuild in the radiator an when i twisted the cap off no steam came shooting out at all not even a small hiss sound. Help!


Thanks in advance

What was your temp gauge running at before? Mine only goes to about half that but I can never get my heat to get really warm so I wonder if my t stat is sticking open also

Does your gauge peg to hot with the engine off/no key and the headlights on?

Thats what my stock gauge looked like during night driving when the gauge went "bad". When it used to work correctly it stayed at the "M" in NORMAL; this is with a 195 T-stat.

you temp guage is about as accurate as pamela andersons Nipples, you need to get a tem gauge and then you wont worry about it anymore. I would say if the temp is constantly suck at that position then your new thermostat works fine

Thanks guys. I changed it because my old t-stat would stay between A and L I thought that was too cold so when i took the old one out it was stuck open

Agreed that the stocker is too inaccurate to interpolate.
