so i took the car down the street again when no-one was home because i just had this earge to do so so i drove it in my court down and back twice then i backed it back into the garage and let it idle for a little while it ran real nice at about 750-900 RPMs up and down like it kinda wanted ta die i guess but it sounded fine so i figured maybe its eating up the two bottles of complete fuel system cleaner and a little bit of stable ontop of 93 octane gas so it can only be good for it right... then i heard a itty bitty little beap and didn't know what it was so i shut the car off and sure enough opened the hood and it was smoking... not much but just a little bit so i went and turned the key so that the electrical fan would kick on. the steam (thats what you should really call it) was coming from the passenger side (any ideas?) i do know that it prob. needs all of its fluids flushed and **** but.... oh left out the most important part.... this hole time ... the gauge in the dash DIDNT move.

Where is the gauge when you turn the acc. on?

Leetheslacker

um... hoses feel fine cap looks fine i dont know what fluid is in the radiator thats why i said it prob. needs a complete fluid flush and cleaning... there is a couple of things i notice when i turn the key on.... but not start the car the electrical fan doesn't pop on like it used to so i had to pull the egi fuse out and the fan turned right on. so i think that the whole time i was running it the other day that electrical fan never turned on and it overheaded the car and the temp. gauge never moved out of the cold position. i know that the car has some hard core electrical shorts in it also. but other then that the coolant even looked fine but i don't have a hydrometer (i think thats the tool used) to check the coolant. oh and it was two bottles of complete fuel system cleaner (STP) shes druged on the meds.
