Alright, I've been using the FSM to try and get me through this, but I just can't put my finger on it.
Cheesy overheating lamp coming on (no guage).
Here's the stats:
Running the heat full blast helps but does not always get the light to shut off. Running up the RPMs in nuetral also helps.
I noticed that after a cold start and 4 miles of in town driving is when it starts to come on. In particular I've been making short runs to the store, and when I turn right it comes on immediately. I subsequently noticed that right hand turns seem to trigger the light to come on. But I may just be imagining all that.
The coolant has been replaced and should be good.
So good citizens of , I ask you, what's the next step and why?
TIA
