Is it normal for my tempeture guage to jump up 210/220 after less then 5 minutes or do I have cooling problems?
Seems fine to me, does it go up any more or does the backup fan go on? Mine takes maybe a min or two more but thats while traveling (usually 40mph or so).Sport cherokee said:Xj 99 4.0L, outside temp about 63 degrees. 5 mins from warming up in the driveway.
The only reason I cautious is because it was given to me. The person that gave it to me knows very little about cars but the reason he gave it to me was because he said it overheated and stopped working for whatever reasons and he's just wants to give it away.
Thinking it might have been the head, I did the basic test like checking the oil to see if it's milky brown and look for moister in between the 3rd and the 4rth cylinders and nothing looks wrong from those aspects, Everything looks fine.
It's only my second day and I love this jeep. I need to know if this baby is going to croke on me or are theses tempetures normal for jus sitting in the driveway warming up? 210/220
