it can climb some, but there are limits. turn on your heater. if you don't get hot air blowing, and see the needle begin to drop you should stop immediately, let it cool, and add coolant when it's safe to open the radiator cap

well, you better get where you're going so you can check your fluid levels before you burn your engine.

turning on the heater every few minutes seems to make the needle go down a little bit

2KidsMom Joined Tue 09/30/08 Posts: 58206	Fri 05/30/14 03:32 PM
although defeating the purpose because it keeps going back

you're supposed to leave it on! it's bad for your engine to run hot. by running the heater you are siphoning that deadly heat off the engine. have you at least checked to make sure that you don't have a leak and aren't losing coolant?

No..not sure how.. but will check fluids.the check engine light did not come on until yesterday starting only getting hot today when I left work Ran heater all the way..kept it in normal enough ranges. running the heater is the only thing that helped me get home because every time I cut the heater off it went back up in the hot range Can't thank you enough Made it to driveway..going to let it cool Phone is running hot too..got a solution for that

if you can hear or see steam escaping, then you have a leak. glad you made it. barring a leak,it sounds like you may just have let it get low, i hope that's all that it is. sounds like you could use some cooling yourself.
