Does amnyone else find that there car tends to rn around 90-93 Celcius ( 194-199 Fahrenheit ) while crusing ? And then when I come to a stop. My temp willgo up from fairly quickly and the electric fan comes on at 95 (203 F. ) with in 20 scondsor so. And it NEVER gets any hotter then 96 celcius ( 205 F. ) whie idiling or a long period. The temp does come down with thefan on and then the fan turns ff. And if im just a a stop light the temp drops right away also. I just findthe temp climbs fast compared to what I would expect. Does anyone else notce the same sort o thing ?

P.s- The car has never overheated. Or even come close. Just heats up faster then I would think it would as soon as I come to a stop.

 

Idk about 20 seconds but a minute or two yeah mine shoots up to 200-210ish

 

If the car is totally warmed up and I come to a stop light. If it is a longer light it will go from the normal running temp to the piont were the fan will kick in fairly fast. Maybe more like 30-40 seconds. But I find if my car runs at 92 ish celcius ( 197 F. ) it is only a few degrees celcius ( 95 C.) ( 203 F. ) from the fan kicking in . And those 2 or 3 degrees go pretty fast. But then the temp comes down right away with fan on or if I start moving.

Also , I just noticed you have an lsj. My 06 ss/sc lsj was probaly the same as your lsj. They run cooler and dont seem to carry as much heat. My old lsj could sit at idle for almost ten minutes befor ethe fan kicked in. My lnf from day one I always thought ran hot untill members told me that was normal for an lnf. And I find it climbs fast in the heat department.

 

Yeah I get upwards of 93-94-95 when sitting at a timmies drive through. But as soon as I get on the road she comes right back down 88-90. I just thought the engine loved incoming air and hate idling.

 

Ur temps are normal. Depends on what the weather is outside to. My oil temp I find weird, in summer it's about 190 and in winter it's always 194 lol go figure

 

The LNF's run hotter, I see the same temps and temp rise.

 

Thats normal.

 

Please never ever seafoam your car again. or look at the gauges.


Ever.

 

didn't even notice it was the same OP

 

That was harsh lol

 

Go figure , Sox buys a vette and turns into a super douche bag !! I guess this is exactly the reason why so many people have left the forums and or stopped posting. Either way. The sea foam and smoking. Bad idea. But at least I figured out what was causing the car smoke on start up. And I was able to fix it for $40 dollars ! As for this thread , I'm not obsessing like the sea foam thread. I was nearly asking a question if other members lnf's climb so quickly in heat at a stop light ! So in the nicest way I can say this to you Sox. GTFO !!!

 

was talking with a local lnf guy the other night and he brought up temps. his are similar to yours and hiscars running fine. i thought the temps sounded a tad high but hey im lsj

 

well played.

but for the record, I was a douchebag before I got a Vette.

 

True story

 

187F almost always. Seen 203 max

 

mine runs between 89-93C but will climb to 96 at a stop as well. you have nothing to worry about. i saw temps of 110C before i shut my engine down and had it towed for an engine replacement. i never once got a warning or saw a dummy light for high temps.

you're good.

 

Lol what..? Your temps got to 110c and you replaced the engine? My l61 idles at 110 all day. Mid 90s when cruising

The warning indicAtor comes on and dings at 125c

 

there was more to it than that. He was losing coolant too. He had the cracked/porous block dealio I'm pretty sure.

 

199-205 idle......cruising 181-187

 

True that it crazy...I had some issues after my turbo swap and my temps got pretty high like 220 and up. Not one light. Had a lot of air in my coolant system. Got my leak fixed and air purged and I was good.

 

Rough. My 2002 sunfire gt L61 2.2 never saw temps like that. I even put an m62 supercharger on without an intercooler and it never went near that high.
