Engine Cooling problem
1997 Hyundai Elantra 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

The car has heat but the temp. gage does not rise. Seems to be leaking from the radiator cap. Could a bad cap cause the temp gage not to rise or should I thing about a new coolant sensor?

Hi:
First, repair the leak. Next, chances are the sending unit is bad. That is where I would start. As far as the leak, it may be a cap, or a crack in the radiator.

Let me know what you find.
