My 90SC will not warm up even after driving for a few hours. The temp guage barely reaches the line after the blue area.
I have been smelling coolant burning and have been adding coolant for about a month. It seems like there is a leak in the radiator. It has a new water pump, new thermostat, but the heater core needs replacing. I have the heater hoses bypassed.
The car just passed NYS emissions and seems to be running ok, but not perfect. It has been using more gas than usual and doesn't seem to have that jump we all are used to.
My check engine light is on intermittedly, but I do not have a scanner.
Maybe I have a faulty guage or the coolant temp sensor is shot? I am grasping at straws, as I really don't have much experience with these cars.
Before I pay someone to help me, can anyone give me some leads in the right direction? I would greatly appreciate it.
FYI, the car has 133,000 miles on it, and the motor has never been apart.
