Subject:Bought an Infared Thermometer....now what????
From:kevin obrien

Hello all:

In an effort to figure out my overheating problem (see
my post from yesterday (1990 Carat Overheating Saga) I
took it in the shorts today at radio Shack and shelled
out $40 for a spiffy Infared Thermometer (you should
have seen the salesmans face when I stuck it in my ear
to get a reading!) Fortunately I went next door to
Walmart and bought the battery for .96 as opposed to
the $4 Radio Shack wanted!

Anyway....I am not a mechanic and the 2.1 coolant
system is a nebulous concept to me...so can any of you
recommend where I should aim this little devil and
what I should be looking for. (My 1990 has been
overheating going UPHILL despite coolant
top-off/bleeding, etc. If you didn't read my post I
can pmail it to you)

Any and all suggestions appreciated. And please...no
wisecracks about where I should aim it....

Cheers!
