temp gauge reading high..

Post by danthemann »

the last few days my temo gauge as been goin up to nearly 100 just driving around normally..it never used to get that high,even sat in traffic.

i dont know what could be causing it..all i know is-my exhaust is blowing,plus i checked my spark plugs as the cars not been running smoothly-been really sluggish..and theres lots of black soot deposited on the first 2(1 n 4)..so guessing its runnin rich..i am clueless now lol
