Ok, so I have been having some over heating issues, and normally I can diagnose my car, but I am running out of options. I don't have much done to the car, except E-cam, 75mm MAF/TB, 3G alternator, suspension work, drivetrain work and some other stuff. I was having this issue before winter. During the winter, I bought a Proform fan, and it seemed to take care of the problem, until these last few weeks, where the temperature has gotten hot and remained that way. 95*+. Anyway, this is what I have replaced so far...
Waterpump- About 3 years ago
Proform fan- About 8 months ago
Hoses- About 8 months ago
180* Thermostat- 8bout 2 months ago
Radiator cap- 2 weeks ago
I was told that I could be getting a false reading from a bad sending unit, so I played along with that theory, until two days ago when I got home and antifreeze was spewing all over. Everything on the car is fine, thank goodness. While the car is running, I let it get warm, and it seems that I have good circulation, with looking at the fluid with the cap off. Thermostat opens and all. Anyway, to let you know more of the issues, the car is also not cooling down on the interstate. It remains a little above half (between the R &M) When running the heat, it didn't climb but obviously I am not going to run the heat when its that hot outside.
Wednesday, I have bought the Derale Fan cooling kit (#DER-16749), aluminum radiator, and upgraded the electric fans that LMR had. I am hoping this is the issue, but I am here asking if you fellas have any other ideas of what it could be.
Also.... I am going to be attaching an aftermarket gauge, as well as the fan controller. My huge concern, where to install these at. I am thinking of putting the fan controller sending unit where the stock sending unit is, and I am not sure exactly where that is located. If anyone has a photo, and could send one to me, I would appreciate it. Where should I put the gauge at as well? Sorry for the nooby questions. I am just tired of having the same reoccurring issues and want to make sure its done right this time around.
My pretty setup on the way! Should be here tomorrow!!!
