I have a 1996 Corvette v8 with 108,000 miles on it and after i drive for a little while i notice that the coolant temp needle goes all the way to the red and the car has died on me. is the coolant temp supposed to be that high and if not what are possible causes of it? if anyone can help me figure this out it would be much appreciated.
