Well i told you the way to go about it. In my old caprice my thermo stat was sticking. I left it idle when she got a lil hot i hit the stat houseing with a wrenchand she opened. lol. Replace it if that fixes it COOL. But you still need to pressure test to see where the hell shes leaking at. if you need any help pm me. Ive been a mechanic all my life. Ford.Chevy,Crysler,Imports all have the same basic features. Cooling problems are normaly eazy to fix Msg me is ya need any help with anything man.

Default RE: overheating

alrighty. I will do that and i will have the pressure test done, i would like to do it tomorrow but im broke so i probably wont be able to get around to it until friday. Luckily if i drive the car the cool air hitting it keeps it low in temp, and it takes awhile for it to rise, wont happen at a stopsign or stop light, and i dont live around heavy traffic, soooo ya. I will let you all know how it goes, thanks for the help.

UPDATE: Problem solved. It just so happened that my electric fan had a short in the connection. I have now since solved the problem and on friday will be adding a new toggle switch. Thanks for your help guys. I would have figured this out myself, but the fan would sometimes run apparently, and then sometimes not. Thanks again for the help.
