Question
I just recently noticed the tempature is starting to run hot. It only does this on the highway and never actually reaches the top of the gauge before it goes down. Also when warming up car in the morning for a half an hour it is not warm. And also there is a weird smell coming through heater vents. Any clue? We are going to change thermostat today.

Answer
