[DML] Re: overheating constantly--help

["DMC Joe" <DMCJOE@xxxx>]

Kristen,
The DeLorean cooling system is extremely efficient and the hottest daytime
temperatures (110+) should not cause the cooling system to run hot. The
most common cause of a constantly high temperature is trapped air in the
coolant lines. The problem is easily corrected by bleeding the excess air
out of the system. The cooling fan system is also responsible for keeping
the engine cool when driving in stop & go traffic or idling. Problems in
the fan circuit can cause high temperature readings.

I am a little concerned about the oil light. It is probably caused be a
defective warning light sender. When the warning light comes on what is the
oil pressure gauge reading ? If the gauge reads below the halfway mark you
may have a more serious problem.

Hi guys,
My boyfirend's D has been overheating off and on all summer long. We've
been assuming that this is due to the unusually hot weather we've been
having, but it did it again last night and it was really cool out. It took
a long time for the temp to come back down and he still had to coast half
way home. Also, he's noticed that the oil light has been going on when it's
really hot out, but that also happened last night. 
Any suggestions? (I think I'd be his hero if I came home with the answer to
his problems) 
Thanks a lot.

BTW, although I don't post very often, I really enjoy being a part of this
list. Keep up the great job!
