Ok have a 92 LX. I bought the car from a friend. I have replaced both HG, replaced lifters, pushrods, thermostat. He told me the car would overheat so I replaced everything I thought would need to be replaced to correct the situation. Here are some symptoms.
Car starts up fine. Idles fine. I can drive the car for about 3 miles, when all of a sudden the temperature will climb straight up FAST.
If I keep the car idle it doesnt ever climb that fast. I beleive the WP is fine because as I stated it runs fine idling but under load it climbs.
Now I am also leaking water around the EGR spacer, not sure why but any help would be appreciated.
I have a question about the thermostat. Does the thermostat go in the Intake or does the "spring" go in the thermostat housing.
I have drained the and flushed the coolant several times however when it overheats the water comes out real rusty color. Any help?
I did a search and I see alot of "air Bubbles" listed as a possible cause. Please tell me how I can correct the situation.
Thanks again.
