Like i said i just recently had it up at 230-240 and then it went back down, it is time to change out to a summer coolant mixture anyways..

good deal... will look into mine! Hope your starting issue was just a one time issue. Maybe water collected in the wrong place..

You may be right on this one. Took it to Discount tire today to have the valve stems replaced (for free!!!!

) and i shut off the motor and the electric fan stayed on? it just kept running and running and running.....lol It happened for a few starts and stops, I just let it run for the short stops (what could be the harm other than battery drain...) but when i pulled up at my house afterwards it had stopped and hasnt been an issue since them!... hmmm.... oh well. Arizona heat will dry it out, 100* today
