I am working on a 2013 1.4L Cruze and it is doing the whole "A/C off due to high engine temp". After that message the temp gauge continues to rise and says "engine overheated idle engine". I started with the basics on this but here is what I have done so far.
~Coolant level is fine...pressurized the cooling system and there is NO leaks
~Replaced BOTH temp sensors (one on the radiator, and one on the coolant valve)
~Replaced thermostat, which incidentally had exploded and was broken
~Also replaced the coolant valve since it did have the typical crack on the neck
~Ran the car with a temp gauge on it and the engine is NOT actually overheating...it just thinks it is
The car will drive fine until it gets to running temp then it starts with these errors. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
