Running hot....!!!!!
Hello I need help ASAP...
My 87 drop top is all of a sudden running hot on idle. when i crank it the temp rises to the N and then the smoke start coming through the defrost vent. Im kinda thinking it may be the thermostat...... thats the only thing i have not changed out. 3 row radiator new hoses. PLZZZ HELP....

It should
Obviously its been leaking for quite some time, and running low on coolant. Usually the first thing that happens is it quits blowing hot air because there is no coolant in the heater core any more. Im actually pretty surprised that you didn't notice the floor on the passanger side being wet at some point when it first started to leak.

Heater core replaced...
I have replaced ther heater core but yet it still chooses to run hot. i actually think it is the thermostat because the hoses off the heater core are hot but the radiator is cool. so i guess the thermostat is not relieving the hot fluid back into the radiator..... COMMENT plz.... need the car running right soon. plan to take it to crusing the coast in gulfport next weekend.
