one thing after anotherOk, s
OK here goes. i fixed my charging problem which was making the engine rev up. Last night the car drove great. This after noon i went for a quick spin and it started sputtering between and when ever i went to give it more gas it would hesitate more. what gives? It's also running hot now. The gauge needle was all the way up and the valve covers were very hot to the touch. Also my volt gauge was down to like 10volts. while it was running at idle it's fine i could rev it up all i want without hesistation. I also un hooked the ground to the battery while it was running and nothing happened so that means my alternator is good right? what can i do my self to make it run cooler. im some what inclined on motors but not a mechanic. Thanks so much for any input im very frustrated. motor is stock.

Make sure you have sufficiant coolant, if it's low you may have a blown head gasket. Your thermostat could be stuck shut not allowing the coolant to flow as well so maybe check for flow by leaving the rad cap off and running till it's up to temp and see if the coolant flows in the rad.

There was minor white smoke out of the exhaust tonight, but my exhaust is brand new (one day old) and it's not a cloud or anything. I'm not loosing coolant and there is no water around the engine or in the oil. When under some load the car hesitates. but at idil i can rev it up. i took off what i believe what is the IAC ( cylinder on the throttle body) and squirted the sh*t out of it with carb cleaner. I just let the motor run to temp. the coolant when down a little then came back up. I left the cap off and when i shut the motor down a little smoke came out of the rad. The temp gauge said about 250-260, but then again my volt guage reads 9-10 volts but i put a volt meter on the battery when it was running and it was 14 volts exact. I have my work cut out for me i quess.
