I was driving to school today with the AC off and it was a cool day (no up hill driving) and I noticed the temprature gage was rising past its normal 'half way mark' and it continued to rise until jsut before the redline, then it dropped again. This happened about 4 or 5 times, I pulled over and there was no sign of the engine overheating, has this happened to anyone?
anyone know what it is?? thanks --------------------  |

If its not low on coolant, replace the thermostat, sounds like its sticking closed. and use a good quality one, preferably a Toyota one,
the aftermarket ones dont seem to last very long. (and it only takes 1 good overheating session to screw up an aluminum head) |
