Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / September 2006engine temperature
My mileage needs improving on my 2000 astro van. I want to check my engine temperature with my Raytech thermometer. Where should I point it and what temperature should I expect to find. Seems the temperature gauge used to read in the center but now is a couple of marks below center. Its got me wondering about the thermostat. Jim > My mileage needs improving on my 2000 astro van.

You're looking for a temp. within a few degrees of thermostat opening temp which is probably about 192F. nate |
