Good answer Chris. You understood what he was saying better than I did.Welcome to Stangnet.
When you fill the cooling system are you opening the bleeder?
Have you tried using a coolant fill cup to burp the system?
Most importantly have you checked/had it checked for blown headgasket(s)?
The bleeder:
Fill Cup:
Combustion Chamber leak detector:
Well... Here's to hoping I did.... lolGood answer Chris. You understood what he was saying better than I did.
OK that y I'm confused for 1 thing every time I start it cold I'll be driving and I noticed it starts run like crap sputtering I look down Temp gauge be soring to the red so I'll turn the heat on it will blow cold then temp dropped and I have heat for a short time then it blows cold I stop add antifreeze but as soon I park 5 Min's take off and happens all overHey Will, welcome to stangnet.
It was kind of hard to understand your exact issue. Is your mustang overheating?
You mention it's getting cold, is that to say you don't have heat inside the cabin?
I'm going to move your thread to the '79-'95 tech section, there are people there that can help out.
Describe one symptom at a time for us, start a new line and describe the next. That will help us evaluate what we might think you can do to fix your problem.
That's what I'm afraid of is head gasket but she has a lot power still this is my curse I think. I've had for 3 years first week new fuel pump it has after market headers and duel exhaust 3 mufflers 2 middle section pipe tail pipe transmission been rebuilt there more but might start crying lolOK that y I'm confused for 1 thing every time I start it cold I'll be driving and I noticed it starts run like crap sputtering I look down Temp gauge be soring to the red so I'll turn the heat on it will blow cold then temp dropped and I have heat for a short time then it blows cold I stop add antifreeze but as soon I park 5 Min's take off and happens all over
I can read I'm smart my step dad was machnic but health issues but yes I can do most tools r limited as heat lol and 3 months off work with this neck sorry I drifted which brings me to another point ADHDYes head gaskets,
I started to tell how to see if it was a malfuctioning thermostat, had instutions all wrote out,
Good thing I reread you post, boy would I have sounded dumb, wait, I just admitted, nevermind I confused again, but I do think you need to test for blown head gaskets, I seen them use the kit in post #3, also look for radiator fluid pulsating, just don't yank the radiator cap off when its hot, are you mechanically inclined?
Head gaskets 'ain't no joke' but can be done with minimal experience
I'm thinking on old 302's 327 400 no problems broke em when I was lid now the a reason their not called mechanic anymore so I'm thinking no but I know people that have the knoledge they would show me but I'm freaking out when I had transmission redone $1400 then I'm told u can get crate motor for 1700I can read I'm smart my step dad was machnic but health issues but yes I can do most tools r limited as heat lol and 3 months off work with this neck sorry I drifted which brings me to another point ADHD
hold on. Before we start saying bad HG, he could have a blocked radiator, a stuck thermostat. a collapsed hose, etc.
1. rent a coolant system pressure tester- see if you have any leaks in the system and the cap
2. check your hoses- the lower hose should have an anti collapse spring- old hoses collapse under pressure
3. Did you install the thermostat the correct way and check that it opens at the correct temp
4. check that there is no debri infront of the radiator and that the radiator is not clogged- I would flush it out
5. check that your fans are coming on
6. is there oil in the coolant or vice versa? are you blowing out white smoke? Smell sweet in the exhaust? Losing Coolant?
7. make sure you have burped all of the air out of the system as Chris said with a Lisle funnel
8. is your overflow attached and working properly
If all of this is done and you are still overheating you either have a bad HG, warped head,block,deck or cracked head/block and I would then rent the exhaust gas coolant tester.. Pray to the car Gods the fluid doesn't turn blue to green[/QUOTE

I'm. Sorry guys ADHD is a bitch my jumps around its hard to finish things I assure u and yes I drive my carCan I buy a punctuation for $250 Vanna
I found out not to take cap off hot lower hose was cold and boiling out overflow I think tomorrow I'm going to drain it and if 1 masters mean that wit h high regard to your skills if could get details on the filling process I will video my work for your amusement or your respect had long day thanks for all advice buddies
