cooling
 

i was wondering if anybody has ever had an experience with their radiator fluid not circulating. fixed the timing issues :P but now that the engine runs it continues to run hot. Not sure what the problem is. THought it was the thermostat but i just replaced it and the car continues to run hot. Any suggestions?!

water pump, pluged rad.

i checked the water pump on the install, it works and it is not leaking, the belt is turning the pulley so it wouldn't be that. And how would i check if the radiator is plugged? I was also wondering if it could be the thermostat. Although the top hose from the block gets hot, but the bottom hose doesn't even get warm. maybe it is a clogged radiator. If you could please explain how to fix it.

Just went through the same shiat on mine. Replaced everything. Came down me bleeding incorrectly. Everyone said on an incline and all this. I tried all that, didnt work for me. Fill your radiator, cap it, loosen the bleed screw by the upper hose, run the engine with your climate control to hot until it stops bubbling out of the screw and becomes a solid bead of water/coolant. tighten and you should be good to go. Mine took about 10 minutes before it was solid without bubbles. Hope it helps....

changing your cap does wonders too.
