Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / February 200595 Caravan 3.0L Temp question
95 Caravan / 3.0L Temp recently started creeping up every now and then. Will be sitting at Normal (just before mid-point) and then slowly creep to about half way between mid-point and Hot. Within a minute or less will drop back to normal. Have noticed that I can usually expedite this return to normal by a little goose on the accelerator. My guess is the thermostat is intermittently sticking. Does this sound logical? By the way, coolant level is normal and have not done any recent work in that area.

Common problem for these stats. Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech >> 95 Caravan / 3.0L >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Glenn Beasley > Chrysler Tech No fault codes. That is why I was thinking stat and not sensor (though I am just guessing here). By the way, sorry about the direct reply before, meant to respond in group. Given the ease of replacement, for $10. I'd put a new thermostat in to start with. > >> 95 Caravan / 3.0L > >> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > just guessing here). > By the way, sorry about the direct reply before, meant to respond in group. > Given the ease of replacement, for $10.

Was inquiring more as a "what if this doesn't correct it" type of scenario. Thanks for both your responses. PC Medic |
