My car runs really hot, even with the heat on.. i installed an e-fan and it still gets really hot.. i changed my coolant and it still does this.. how can i check if my water pump is bad?? how do i know if my radiator is bad also??



thanks

V8?

dude, no wonder you swap out the 13b for a V8.



check your thermostat. whenever the car gets hot, your t-stat pops open and allows more coolant to be rushed in.

lol ok...



i read somewhere to drill a hole threw the t-stat to allow better cooling?



true?

Theres a bleeder hole on the waterpump. Pisses when its bad.



Is the coolant coming out of the overflow tank?
