Hi all,

Here's another noob question: on a 00 SE 2.7L, where should the temperature read during normal driving? Mine is always between the halfway mark and the mark right below that. Exactly where it is changes... sometimes it's closer to the bottom sometime it's closer to the top.

Thanks,

Yiran

Well I have a 3.2, but that sounds about right as far as temperature range goes. Mine's is usually a little towards the bottom in the winter, and right now it's usually right at the halfway mark.

sounds about right........... My 01 2.7L was around the same

cool. So an OTIS or EVIC will actually display the ECU's coolant temp reading? That's interesting... Saw couple of OTIS's and an EVIC (on a 300M) in a local yard. Debating on whether or not to grab them (risky since these may have been sitting in the yard for a while).

Mine sits at the notch below the halfway point. Pretty much always. And as far as i know, an EVIC doesn't display coolant temp. It does show the outside air temp.

For my 1st gen w/ the a/c on in 90+ degree stop n' go it's sits between the 1/2 way mark and the tick below it...

My 01 usually on the tick below 1/2 mark, really hot/traffic might be just above never to 1/2 mark...well once when radiator blew out LOL!!! Shot like a rocket to Noon time!!
