Well I pulled the thermostat, I think I neeed to flush the system. The jag off that owned it before me put that bars-no-leak **** in it and I think that is clogging it up, either that or I need to replace the water pump, I dunno.



Wasn't too happy about having to pull the thermostat out in the pouring rain yesterday.

that sucks, you prolly need to have the radiator cleaned out, or just replace it

Yea I am going to try and flush it, if that doesn't work I will prolly have to replace the bastard. Sucks too cause that car always ran surprisingly cool.

Does it run hot all the time? or just when moving? or just when sitting?

Just when sitting. It's fine once I get rolling on the freeway.

oh maybe its the fan clutch



mike

yeah is the fan clutch. that happened to me a while ago. they are expensive too. probably is time for a electric one https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

It probably isn't the fault of the Bar's Leaks stuff if it's been in there for a while and it just now started running hot.

Found it, Fan Belt is loose as a goose, looks liek the alternator slipped, certainly helped getting to look at it in the light!

Gotta love free fixes https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
