I was getting onto the interstate in my 96 v6 Mustang and pressed the excelleration to get in front of some traffic and the rpm’s was up to abut 4.\u00a0 I had the heater on level 3 of 4 and when I accelerated the heat went from warm to completly cool.\u00a0 I drove going 75 mph on cruise and the air was still cold and then I noticed my guage go from cold to medium, then I saw it going up to hot and I have never seen it do that.\u00a0 I slowed down to about 60 and was driving for another mile and it stayed on hot.\u00a0 Then I turned off the heat and the temp guage immediatley dropped back down.\u00a0 I drove for a few miles without the heater on and then turned it back on and when I turned the heater back on it was working fine again.
\n\u00a0\u00a0 This has never happened before and I assume something needs to be done.\u00a0 I didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg taking it to a mechanic if it is something simple the car may need.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nAny suggestions?
