Message	Just like the title says. What is the highest water temperature your Z runs at? Today my water temperature raises to 207 F. It stayed there but I'm not comfortable with that. The stock water temp needle went to 3/4 and stayed there. This was at idle sitting on the drive way for 15 min. I am trying to figure out why it is spiking like that. I'm thinking maybe my fan clutch is bad. I have nightmares about that happening...I'd be the poor bastard you'd hear about on the news that gets killed by a softball-size chunk while spreading out my body over the hood and screaming "Nooo!"

Probes suck, that's just all there is to it. - 300ZXpert (someday) on April 04, 2005 at 11:35 PM P.S. You REALLY are on here at ALL hours! And I thought I was bad! :) - zmenon on August 16, 2005 at 3:06 AM LOL...2+2 drivers should grow mullets..."Business in the front...party in the back" ;) - BradZ (FL) on November 29, 2005 at 4:45 PM
