running hot
i own 96 cobra with only 45000 miles on it. my temperature gauge is showing that my engine is running very warm. almost out of the normal zone. this is all the time and not just when its hot outside. i have heard that the cobras tend to do that but is that going to mess up my car. there radiator is full and there are no significant dents in the radiator? help me please anyone!
I like beer.

Wasn't there a recall on the 96's because they were running hot? I'm sure some of the Cobra guys will chime in shortly.

You might not qualify for a free fix, but at least they would have documentation on what the problem was, and is most likely an easy fix. My guess it is some sensor or blocking hooked up in that plastic manifold.

The radiator? What was wrong with the radiator? Core defect?
