<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE>My 87 2.1l is running hot. By hot I mean that the temp. needle is just above the led. When I go up hills I have to&nbsp;put the front heater on to keep the needle around the led. </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>How can I tell if it is the thermostat, waterpump, air in the system or even a faulty temp sensor or gauge?</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Is it OK to run at this temperature? My 86 2.1l never ran hot. </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Thanks</DIV>
