I noticed that when driving on the highway while air temps in 30's the temp guage only reads ~1/4th toward red. In summer or while idling even in winter temp goes up to ~2/3rds toward red (and then fan kicks in). Should winter engine temp be lower or is there blockage or a therostat problem? Water pump (but it seems OK)?
Possibly related issue is that I only get heat when car is moving or reved to ~2500 rpm (regardless of engine temp). Would the above problems cause this or is my heater core blocked or heater valve not opening all the way (it does close if I turn knob down)?
Thanks.
