Normal 4EFTE operating temperature?

[gorganl2000]

i have the same auto cluster as you, my car is also an auto conversion
yeah, mine also sits around the "D" when at operating temp---just under half way mark

did you mix the coolant according to the directions?----some of the red ones need diluting
they say water is better for cooling, but i guess coolant is better for your system

when starlets were built toyota were putting (whats known in the uk) green antifreeze, but they dyed theres red

this is where a common misconception about coolant colours comes from, manufactures can have a grade of coolant and colour it whatever colour they want,

if they are mixed with the wrong coolant type they can sludge up and cause all sorts of heating issues.


coolant should be a mix of 50/50 you could also try putting some water wetter in there aswell as this supposedly helps keeps temps down

I would set the warning light to 105C.

How do you set the warning light?

WUE cuts out at 60C and switches to the main fuel table. I don't run a Thermostat but logging my temps I rarely get to 82C.

I maintain 74 - 80 then the fan cuts in and maintains it in that region.

Does anyone run a DET 3 on a 4efte? I’m looking for some info.
