alphagtp Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 fist of all, one question, when using the 180* T-stat the gauge goes above 180*?? now, this is my second "new" thermostat after I couldt figureout what was wrong with the first one, I tought it was the actual tstat but this one is kind of the same: it goes up and down like crazy. I did the whole bleed a few times and nothing, what else could be wrong? or is it just normal?? Quote
Andrew Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 yes it will stil go above 180, and the gauge isnt exactly accurate either. as for the other thing, well that just sounds like air to me. Quote
CSI_MuNkY Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 The LQ1 can be a bitch to get bubbles out of the cooling system, I've had to do it twice... If you don't want your engine to heat up as much you could change the temp at which your fans come on. Jamie Quote
gp13069 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 you may need to get A vaccum pump to get out the air. i only seen it done twice it seam to work well both time's Quote
alphagtp Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Posted July 20, 2008 you may need to get A vaccum pump to get out the air. i only seen it done twice it seam to work well both time's tell me more about this "pump" please Quote

95 vert Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 My Cutlass with a 3.4 had a bleeder screw on the heater pipe by the brake booster and using it took all the air out. The bleeder by the t-stat wouldn't get all the air out and my temp gauge would fluctuate also. Quote
