On a drive today, I noticed my a/c started intermittently cutting out. After arriving home, I did some research and found that happens when the engine starts to overheat the ECU goes into a mode to mitigate overheating.
After the car cooled down, I drove it to a nearby service store. The needle was just under the H at the top of the gauge about a block before I got there.
I found out after adding coolant that there is a broken hose as coolant just ended up on the pavement. The service store doesn't do anything other than fluids and filters, so I drove another mile, rested the car until it cooled, and then drove another mile to a radiator shop.
So, since the needle didn't go past the line to the H, and the engine still started with no noises when parked and then cooled, am I okay?
Thanks for your response.
