bizzaro land coolant temps
the past week, my car has been trying to overheat when i am at a stop light. temps are chilly-chill all other times and it's been in the 30's F tempwise so it makes me laugh a little.
note that this is with the heater on. normal driving temp is around 190F stoplight for 2 minutes brings it to 220-225F (which I dont consider dangerous) as soon as I roll away, it falls back down to 190. it could be a dead fan or air bubbles or something, but since I haven't checked anything yet, i'm just posting because it's weirdly timed with cold weather. |
pinhole leak?
cap leak? thermostat stuck? fans working? |
Check to see if the fans are working first.
FWIW, my motor runs pretty hot all the time. Like 210-220 ish. I'm'a do a reroute one day and see if that changes. |
I'm about to buy a swirl pot.
|
I'm about to buy a netti-pot.
|
I'm about to buy a tea pot.

Damn you for making me look up what that was. I'd managed to forget about Rick's nasal escapades... :barf:
you tube videos ftw! |
peter pan coolant reroute wiring error?
|
Sounds like my car with broken fanz.
|
the true test will be friday when it's going to be 8° :(
|
My car has been stuck at like 200-210 highway. At stop lights 190-200. Without ducting or cover, a koyo 37mm, & stock fans. I'm going to have this race prep shop make me ducting so I can get the temps down a little lower.
This is relieving. I thought my car was running mad hot. |
I'll tea-bag your netty-pot.

For over a year now I've been trying to figure out why my car over heated.. I never could find anything in the tune, the fans ran, I upgraded the rad, replaced the cap, the thermo, etc..

peak coolant temps in the datalog were 111C / 232F. hmm. normal temps in the same log (driving) were 87-88C / 188-190F. doublehmm. |
