    Refilling coolant...

    The resevoir tank shouldn't be full to the top.. You didn't fill it completely did you? There are marks saying what the level should be at.

    Thermostat?

    I knew the stock guage was off that was one of the problems. However it did have the wrong thermostat in there so I fixed both problems and now the guage seems to be reading pretty accurately. I'm just using it as a guess-timate to see if my car is running at the correct temp or running hotter...

    Thermostat?

    I bought a 180* Thermostat.. Installed it (I had a 160* in???? I guess the guy I bought it from must have put in a 160 since he lived in vegas? I dont know)... And the car was still running colder than it should so my Dad put his thermometer on the heater hose and it was reading ~175 so I went...

    Thermostat?

    Ok, that is basically what I was wondering. I was thinking it was stuck open and that was most likely the problem. I'll have to buy a 180 and see what it does with that on there. Thanks for the input.

    Thermostat?

    The upper radiator hose is stiff when the engine isn't running. Haven't even touched it when the motor was running cold/hot. I'm not 100% sure what my guage is reading, I BELIEVE it's reading about 150-170*.. Here's a picture for reference. This is what it heats up to and continues to run at...

    what is powershifting?

    I thought power shifting was when you let your foot off the gas and shift real fast w/o using the clutch. Immedietly after lifting your foot off the gas it relieves all load from the clutch allowing you to shift (VERY quickly) without grinding or anything. Maybe that's not poewr shifting, but I...

    Power door lock power source

    My power locks don't work either but I think it's because the previous owner had an alarm system and removed the alarm. However in the process of removing the alarm he didn't reconnect the power locks.. I am too lazy to climb in the seat upside down and look under the dash for the wiring :P LOL..

    A/F Guage Questions

    I want to use an A/F guage but my car has no o2 sensor. I was told I could weld one into the exhaust and connect it to the guage but that is unreliable and doesn't read very accurate.. They said I'd need to get a wideband guage that would cost me ~$400... Anyone have any information on this...

    Power lock question

    Sorry, my fault. I kinda went retarded with my post and wasn't paying attention. The actuators are NOT getting power.. I believe (not 100% sure) that the switch panel was sending out the power like its supposed to but the actuator wasn't getting it. Where does an alarm system normally tap into...
