coolent temp
i have just had my 1st drive in my modded c5. ARE stage 2 headers, comp cam 224/224, flp exhaust sys( exh headers,high flo cats, xpipe and int pipes. also have ls6 manifold, 178 degree stat. haltric tric intake ,with carbon mag. ported th. body (breathless ) also have engine covered with carbon fiber pieces, including the full one which covers the fuel rails and the intake man. (one piece) on the first drive after a few mi the dic came on and said coolent temp and as i was driving it read the temps. temp ranged from 190 to 226. the 190 was at 2700rpm and as fluctuating betweem 190 & 198 . when i got home and parked it shot up to 226 and after i opened the hood it went down to 214 (still running) why would this come up on the dic??? is that normal temps??could heat 9 in the eng. bay ) be triggering a sensor??? any suggestions :confused:

The fellow above, who's temp never goes above because of a low temp thermo, has clearly never driven his car hard - or is always going down hill at 30* weather at 1500rpm in 5th gear.
I have a 178* thermo in my 2000 FRC and normal street driving it is between 185 and 200 depending on haw much I am into the throttle. At the track on a hot day the coolant temp will get into the 220-230 range while moving and go even higher when coming off the track before it starts to go down. Hope this helps. :cool:

So you are saying that while you are driving and the DIC is blank... all of a sudden the temps display themselves for no reason?

Re: coolent temp (ydeer)
That is a weird situation... Never heard of that one before.. are you getting any codes that are related to coolant temp sensors?
