Default too hot????
Is my 89 running too hot? The cooling fan comes on at 228 degrees? Is this normal?
Only had the car a short time.

I think 50% of the people join the forum just to ask:

Is it runnin' too hot?

How many HP from my new Air Foil?

My dash panel is blinkin', why won't it start?

It wont start because it got to hot, beacuse the airfoil gave me to much horse power, and the dash is blinkin cause the temp gauge is pegged and shourting out the dash
