Thanks guys! I haven't noticed it actually over heating, just that the gauge says it does, but as soon as I turn off the A/C while I'm driving it drops immediately, or if I start driving after it's been off for a few minutes it drops back to normal. I'll definitely change the thermostat and flush the coolant as well as check and clean all the dash grounds. Chris

Thanks guys. I'll check the electric fan and see if that's kicking on or not, and the thermostat as well. Probably put a new one in, could use it i think. Thanks again! Chris

Hey guys, I'm new to subaru's, usually deal with VW's. Anyways, I've got an 88 gl-10 that runs great. It has the digital readout gauges, and while the A/C is on and running, the temp jumps up to almost red, but as soon as i turn off the a/c, it drops back down to normal almost immediately. Also, after the car is parked for a few minutes then we jump back in it and turn it on, the gauge is back up to almost red or is in the red, but as soon as i start driving it drops back down immediately. So my question is this: what the heck is going on here. It doesn't bubble coolant, doesn't seem any hotter than normal by just intuition. Thanks for the help or any information! Chris
