the "gagues" button
Hey guys I am still running hot with my 95 and I started messing around with the gagues button this time, and it has some digital readings, my cool read 205 :( the oil read 190-ish and the auto read 185 190-ish. Is this bad? I had it running in the driveway again and the fans came on this time, but I had the ac on, and when i turned the car off I can hear a hissing sound. It is dripping some fluid onto the drive way, and its clear so I guess its water but the coolant is green :confused: Its got me pretty concerned, is there anything that I should check out as the likely cause of the problem?
Once again thanks for the help.

Re: the "gagues" button (venom858)
If you were running car in driveway with ac on, what you are probably seeing dropping to ground is condensation from the ac. You live in a humid area like me so there will definetly be some moisture coming of the ac. Hissing is normal as long as your ac is still blowing cold. All my cars do it after running for awhile. Guess it is the gasses still moving around in ac system after it is turned off. 205 temp is not bad at all for a vette since most reach 225 on regular basis in traffic.

Auto Temp = Transmission temp?
Your '95 is programmed to turn both fans on in low speed at 226 degrees. High speed at 236 if it ever gets there. With the A/C on the fans run all the time. It looks weird on the dash gauge because it will allow it to go almost full scale before the fans cut in. Just remember the coolant gauge is not linear. I reprogrammed my PCM to turn the fans on at 210, much better now.
205 is a perfect temperature, although the oil seems cool. Must not have been driving. My oil temp is usually 10 degrees or so warmer than the coolant.
