1992 Acura Legend Repair Question
My temp gauge goes up for about 3 seconds,then goes back to normal at times.
Asked by Lrojas93Answer
It could be the gauge but it's more likely air pockets in the system.
You could have a faulty sending unit or bad ground circuit connections if there are no air pockets.
You mentioned checking the coolant regularly, is there any neccisity to top up? Did you check the radiator side?
Someone did mention the air pockets..they tried bleeding it, but they said that it would probly get more air pockets, so what we did to maybe hekp, was to "wash" the motor frombthe inside, and radiator, and install a new gauge. My concern now, is what is a safe temperature for a 92 acura legend with more than plenty of miles to it (i bought it used). Ive beenbtold that as long as it doesnt go too far above 210 it should be fine, but others tell me that 200+is dangerous. Thank you for your replies.
Today's engines commonly run in the 225 to 230 range. 240 is too much.
Well its a 92, so does that fall into that category? Akso, ive re
ad/heard that a faulty/blown headgasket, or something like that could be the cause, is it worth looking into at all?
Thank you.
If you're still haveing a problem controlling the temp, getting air into the system or losing coolant, then definitely have it tested for head gasket leaks.
