Lesson Number 1 for Blake.

The Guages in Toyota cars are not to be taken for face value.
Just because its hotter on the guage, doesn't mean the engine is *that* much hotter.

With my guage, and comparing it to the readout on the laptop, the guage has a varied response.

For instance, lets say it normal sits at point X. (just below centre (analogue)).
It will get there, and the laptop readout will be at about 75degC.
The cars normal running temp is about 85degC.
The guage does not move.
Disconnect the thermo's, and let the temp rise.
The guage will remain in the SAME spot for 90degC on the lappie, 95degC, 98degC.
When the laptop reaches 100degC, the guage starts moving.
Within about 30secs, it is mm from the top.
Turn the thermos on, and within about 5 seconds, the guage will be almost back to normal, but the laptop readout will still be 100degC.


The guage is only to be taken as an indication of how hot your motor possibly is.

If you want to know exactly how hot it is, go get a guage with temperature readout. Then, and only then can you determine if your car is hot.

The running temp (while driving at say 60) should be 2-3 degrees above the thermostat opening temp.
