possibly a refresh setting somewhere in the software.

 

you mean reset phone type of thing? I thought maybe disconnect the car kit and see but I don't want to lose the phone on radio!ok,tried disconnect car kit connection and Wi-Fi but phone didn't pickup obd2 so it must be the app only works with Bluetooth,don't really know about this sh-t!just tried the car doctor app and plugged in id address [Wi-Fi] and still can't seem to connect,frustrating!!

 

no not the phone.
the software that reads the OBDII - may have a setting that deals with refreshing the sensor information that is displayed

 

using the car doctor app I managed to get readings on ect and rpms,the free app seems limited but I really wanted to see if the elm was good since it was one of the cheaper ones I saw on ebay,after I tinker around with it i'll get the app walt said he uses,obd fusion,trying to get the gauge display screen but haven't been able to,as I said not really good with this stuff! btw,reading showed temp was around 199f after sitting idleing for about 1/2hr,drove for a short drive hooked up ,some stop and go and temp got to 205-210, is that about right as far as running temp?thanks again for imput

 

Those temps are on the high side of things. Was a/c on? What was ambient temp?

Stock thermostat is fully open at 190 deg. So that is kinda the low end of the range. Some (including me) have installed at 180 deg t-stat to keep avg temps down. Ideally at idle you'd be mid 190's and at higher RPM the fan should keep things below 200 unless a/c is on and it is hot outside.

So there is where I'd start, a 180 deg t-stat and new fan clutch. I'd also consider a flush of the cooling system if that hasn't been done in a while.

 

thanks ,ac was on and outside temps are in the mid nineties,viscous and water pump are new and I flushed the system recently [t-stat is new] running 50/50 coolant and a bottle of hyperlube, fans are working [aftermarket and run without ac on].

 

That is about where my '96 with 245,000 mile sits with the A/C on and outside temps in mid 90's.

 

thanks,i think I've done everything right and my fans haven't come on after shutting car off and the regular gauge shows below halfway mark [like 20 to the hour!]just have to watch and see

 

with A/C and 90 deg temps, you are running about what I'd expect.

 

right around the temps I get
