fixed the crazy rubbing and squeeking sound (it was the smog pump related pipe hitting the exhaust, took it out and its all well)
here is whats happening now....(yea here it goes again, right?)
i have a 180deg thermostat in the car and the pump was replaced by the previous owner. the car was running GREAT and the temp was always between a quarter and half
recently the temp started getting high. it never drops below half and it goes over half every few minutes and goes back down to the middle again, THEN when i get on it, the temp rises to 3/4.
*lets say im cruising at 60, the temp will stay in the middle and then rise for no reason and then drop again, and it keeps doing that. Then if im goin 50-60 and take it out of gear and let it roll, the temp RISES and takes a min or so to drop. At idle is the best tho, the temp always drops when i pull up to a light and let it idle for a min (it drops in a matter of 30 secs with me reving it a bit thinkin im accelaratin the water pump)
What could that be?? help before i start pulling everything off and borrowing lots and lots of $$$ to get a radiator, fan and w/pump
f***ing temperature problems
