- Leaking or stuck open thermostat
- Low engine coolant level
- Insufficient warm up time
- Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor harness is open or shorted
- Engine coolant temperature sensor circuit poor electrical connection
Make sure you only use a 50/50 mixture of G-05 antifreeze and distilled water. Change the coolant every 30,000 miles. Minerals in tap water may be responsible for the thermostat sticking.
