4kq coolant light flashing

Mine is VERY picky. If it is even close to the min line, mine goes off. I'd suggest just adding a cup to see if yours might just be very sensitive...

Hello all...

I noticed a little bit ago that the coolant light flashes in my 86 4kq upon
acceleration or cornering.  The engine doesn't seem to be overheating at all
and I've checked the coolant level and it's fine... I'm assuming that this
is a sensor problem.  Any experience here?  Is it the level sensor in the
bottom of the coolant overflow reservoir?  Can this be replaced separately
or do you have to buy the whole bottle?

Thanks again.
