Damn my KA to hell!
Okay, my project chuki has now become problem chuki. Let me explain. Im in the process of sanding my 91 240 to repaint it. I was waiting to put the car inside our shop because people were using the forklift and my car had to be out of the way. Thats okay, cuz my 240's heater works... usually... well i just to happened to notice that though my heater was warm and my car had been on for at least 10 minutes, the temp needle had not gone up a bit. I pop the hood and take the bleeder screw off to check for air, and get sprayed with coolant... great... i put everything back and the needle has gone up about 1/16 of an inch. Wait a while longer, still no gain. WTF... im gonna end up spending more time and money fixing the car's little quirks than repainting and fixing the brake lights! ....fuxor!

hm... lets think for a second here... Yes, you are an idiot. I COULD have taken off the radiator cap, but im not you... i try the small things first... besides it was only half of my right hand that got sprayed... and it was only lukewarm. Temp sensor sounds like a go, never thought of that. I know i didnt blow my motor, cuz the temp sensor worked the last time i messed with the car, about a week ago, and the motor is strong as a racehorse, and only has 106k miles on the odo.

i have no clue... i havent had time to work on it lately, ive been busy push starting my legend, cuz the starter is very particular about when it wants to spin, and working....
And xam, not to flame... but no, it will not go up if i drive around... besides, i dont think its very legal to drive around with no tail lights, turn signals, side markers, rear bumper, and exhaust... oh, and working auto seatbelts. Yeah im in the process of sanding and refinishing the body.
