    Water pump or fan?

    Car cools great when driving 45 + MPH but as soon as I slow down in traffic my temp climbs. Once I get going the temp drops about 20 degrees within about 30 seconds leading me to believe that I need a water pump. I just bought a fluidyne radiator, black magic fan and 172 degree thermostat...

    Water Pump?

    I recently bought a Fluidyne radiator (new radiator cap) and Black Magic fan hoping that this would cure my overheating problem in traffic. It doesn't help that I live in Phoenix either! Either way, the new combo has helped but it still heats up. I'm thinking that it may be the water pump...

    Rich or lean?

    I was driving home today after about an hour drive and when I pulled into the neighbor the car really bogged down under a heavy load. If I feathered the gas it ran decent but if you trounced on it the car bogged down then sputtered and took off. The car has always ran very rich due to the...
