Why would your temperature gage read about 100 degrees while running for about 1 hour but when you turn the engine off it will reads about 200 degrees?

While the engine is running, the water is constantly circulating through the
block, taking heat out of it, dumping the heat in the radiator with the help of the
fan, then going back to the block once it's cool again. That's the way everything
is designed to work, in order to carry heat out of the engine block and prevent
it from glowing red and melting itself.
When you turn the engine off, the water pump stops turning, and the circulation stops.
The water that's inside the engine just sits there, and comes up to the temperature
of the surrounding block, before the whole thing eventually cools down.

If the thermometer reads 60 degrees farenheigt after 2 minutes what will it read after 7 minutes?
temperature is independent of time unless there's a heat ramp in a closed system in place. So the way you've phrased it, by all probability, it will still read the same temperature

When a woman stands with two feet on a scale the scale reads 280 N When she lifts one foot the scale reads?
The same.
When a woman stands at rest with two feet on a scale the scale reads 500N When she gently lifts one foot the scale reads?
500 N
What is a number that reads the same both ways?
8
What would be the temperature be in Celsius if the thermometer reads 75 degrees?
About 24 degrees Celsius.
What is celsius temperature when a Fahrenheit thermometer reads 98.6?
98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius.
The thermometer reads 38 degree Celsius what is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?
100 degrees Fahrenheit
At what temperature celsius and Fahrenheit scale reads the same?
At -40 degrees.
Engine temperature gauge reads high then normal?
i just put in a new radiator and now temperature gauge reads high but their are no leaks
How do you check ambiant temperature?
ambient air temperature is the temperature of your surrounding air. if you stand outside with a thermometer, and it reads 64 degrees, that is ambient temperature.
A thermometer reads 25 degrees Celsius What is the degrees in Fahrenheit?
Temperature, equal to 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
If the Thermometer reads 5 degrees Celsius what is the temperature in Fahrenheit?
5 degrees Celsius = 41 degrees Fahrenheit[°F] = [°C] × 1.8 + 32
What would cause the temp gauge to bottom out and stay in that position and the fan on the motor to run constantly?
The thermometer that reads your engine temperature, I presume, is damaged or broken. Without the gauge to tell your fan how hot your engine is it will keep running as a 'better be safe then sorry' feature.
32 in the T in D F at which W F?
32 is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit there is also an expanded version of this which reads 32 is the T in D F at which W F 32 is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit at which water freezes
Where is the iat sensor located on a 2003 Ford Mondeo 2.0 zetec?
The 2003 Mondeo does not have a IAT Sensor is has a Temperature and Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (TMAP) The TMAP sensor fits directly into the inlet manifold and accurately measures the vacuum from the engine. The TMAP sensor consists of a temperature sensor and a pressure transducer and therefore replaces the IAT and the MAP sensors. The TMAP sensor provides the powertrain control module with information relating to inlet manifold vacuum and barometric pressure along with the temperature of the air in the inlet manifold. With the ignition on but without the engine running the sensor reads barometric pressure and when the engine is running, the sensor reads inlet manifold vacuum.
Put a new water pump on your 1989 Chevy blazer and now your temperature gauge reads 260 degrees can someone tell you what to do?
put a new water pump on a 1989 Chevy blazer and now the temperature gage reads over 260degrees help pleas Check the wire from the temperature sending unit on the engine block. Replacing the water pump would have nothing to do with that unless you pinched the wire somewhere or the pump is defective and your engine is actually overheating. I assume it is not and is running normal. If it is actually overheating, you either have a bad pump or the thermostat is sticking or you did not replace all the antifreeze. Leave the radiator cap off and run the engine. Check to see if you see liquid movement or comming up and out the opening. If you do see movement, the pump is good.
