hello all...
i have a 94 gt tons of miles. 270k.
was all stock till about 4 months ago. Found a few parts in a bone yard, picked them up and installed them. flows, cold air intake. and msd coil pack. then I bought an x pipe from a guy on the local mustang site.
Even before those mods the car would run at mid point. then under acceleration or traffic it rise a little then go back down after I get going or get some air flowing in it. fans is kicking on when temp get up there.
I changed the old plugs(gapped at 60) a couple of months ago and all of the sudden it ran at the right temp.((new gap 52) but then it went back up again.
Since it has so many miles I figured i do some basic maintenance to see if I stumble across the problem. so I installed.....NEW timing chain, water pump, temp sensor, upper radiator hose(they didn't have lower), acc. belt. and radiator cap. I also spend about 30 minutes trying to burp the system. I think i have it all out.
Going try a OEM thermostat from ford next weekend, replace other hoses. I haven't gone into radiator yet because $$$ and when I took the water pump and hoses the they were extremely clean inside.
any other things I should try?
Oh ! Right now I have the heater core line looped because the it was leaking in the car.
thanks up front for any other info.
