I have a 94 5.0 that gets really hot only when driving and hood is closed . When idles and hood is open it stays on O.R on the gauge . I had to prop thmthe hood the other day with a tshirt in the corner of my hood when I closed it to have a gap to allow air in to keep it cool. The fans go off when they are supposed to and I used a combustion gas tester and it showed I had no gase in my radiator it stayed blue .... I'm confused I changed my thermostat also to a 170
My needle on my gauge also jumps around just wondering if my sending unit could be bad and geting to much heat when my hood is closed to make it jump around or my radiator or waterpump..????? Coolant seems to be moving inside if radiator .... I am nervous I dont wanna eff my car up what to do I am thinking of draining my coolant doing a flush I also noticed the bottom hose that goes to he pump is hard ass hell and seems crunchy when you squeez it like something is inside
