havinfun79 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 My poor car just started giving us problems this last week. It'll only get real hot while driving in stop & go traffic-it blows out lots of smoke also-on open highway, it's fine. The fan has already been set to run all the time(quad driver was bad), & the thermostat was by-passed. My boyfriend has checked to make sure there's no air pockets & pressure check the system-no leaks. The car's not mixing oil/water. Does anyone have any other ideas as to what this could be? He's thinking one or both of the heads went bad, but we've never ran the car hot for a long period of time.Thanks Quote
birdman Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 does it lose coolant at all? and are you sure there isnt a clog some where? does the heater work? id check those and go from there. Quote
havinfun79 Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Posted May 14, 2006 Doesn't leak at all-not sure about any clogs, though(I'll double check)-the heater does work. Quote
havinfun79 Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Posted May 15, 2006 Ok, so my boyfriend drove the car today to work so he could look at it more & it turns out water is mixing w/the oil-so when the heads get sent out to get checked, I think we'll have them port 'em out a bit-lol Quote
