I replaced the water pump and put in a thermostat(didn't know my stang didn't have one until I replaced it). After I did this I decided to run straight water for two days to make sure I had no leaks. I'm good on no leaks. BUT the car runs hot very hot. So i drained some water and put in Radiator cleaner. Now it runs hotter than before just under the red zone.
So is it possible the thermostat is not opening at all? Causing it to run hot?
When I come to a stop light it gets hot. Well normally once I take off the temp would drop back down. Now it doesn't at all.
Thank you!
