Asked by Bryant G Dec 03, 2022 at 12:41 PM about the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe RWD

Question type: General

2008 base C6 auto, sitting in a drive thru last
night the trans temp, the oil temp, and the
coolant temp all started to climb, also the
coolant temp went up and down and fluctuates
wildly on the 8 to ten minutes drive home. I'm
stumped !! Any help ?? Never seen any of the
temps this high before and have owned the car
for almost a year and a half

As they are all doing this start checking grounds and power wiring and connections, especially those on the engine as there are a lot of sensor grounds there. You may want to have the battery and charging system check out, as this has a computerized charging system find a place that knows how to do it right. If everything checks out then it time for a live data scan on all the computer sensors and controls.
