    Overheating after electrical failure

    Jeez....I'm an idiot I just checked all the fuses and found out my fan fuse was faulty. It actually burnt today. Repalced it and now works like a charm no more overheating issues. I'm going to do an overhaull on the wires make it neater to say. Thanks for the reply man.

    Car sucking up antifreeze like its cool.

    Thanks for all the posts. Upgraded my thermostat seemed to help nicely with the high heat issues. New rad cap seemed to help with the overflow can not sucking antifreeze.

    Car sucking up antifreeze like its cool.

    Ok here is the other problem I have. A couple of days ago I noticed that my car would go thru a whole can of antifreeze within a day. The funny thing is fluid in the rad is always full and it sucks up the fluid in the overflow can. I also didn't find any leaks anywhere, no white smoke in the...

    Emission Problems.

    I have a 1990 LX I purchased a couple weeks ago. For whatever reason she just cant pass an emission test. The first time it had an exhaust leak, so I went ahead and had the piping redone and changed the exhaust. I also went ahead and changed a ruptured EGR hose. She's still failing emissions...
