spiderw31 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 I'd say you're on the right track with bleeding the system. Sounds like the classic symptoms of air bubbles in the cooling system. Quote

dirt_igirt Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 what is the best way to bleed the air out of the system Quote
birdman Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 start car, open bleeder valve(s) and watch the bleeder until you get a solid streem of coolant and top off radaitor as needed. youll need to make sure the car gets to the thermostats opening temp or there will still be air trapped in there.

dirt_igirt Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 ok thank you where would be the best place to tap into for water temp gauge Quote
birdman Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 would you be trying to add one or just double check to see if your gauge is correct? Quote
dirt_igirt Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Posted February 23, 2009 trying to add one on Quote
Andrew Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 why do you want a second temp gauge ? Quote
