El Rito Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 What causes the engine to run hot even after a short spin--like a mile or less? I checked recall and it was done in 1999, so not head gasket. Radiator? crossover manifold exhaust? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maineah Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 What is hot? Gauge up in the red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I will tell you this Toyota does not consider it hot unless it's into the red zone. So you really need to check the coolant temp with an accurate gauge 180-190 is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
