Car gets hot very quickly but only to half way mark
What is your question?
1996 Toyota Corolla - if driving at low speeds say under 80km and constantly stopping and starting at traffic lights the temperature gauge gets to and sits at the half way point - it never goes past though. If i go faster after a few minutes the gauge goes back down but will go up ahead as soon as I stop a traffic light. Ive had no issues other than that but I know it cant be a good thing. Its always very very hot in the engine when I do park and turn off the car. I have changed the fan fuse as I didnt think the cooling fan was coming on but it is still happening. What should I check for next?
What makes this problem better or worse?
Slow speeds stopping and starting
