Overheating

[Alpha D]

Ok im gonna go do that right now. This hasn't been a good weekend at all. When i am done with the above mentioned procedures guess itll be at least safe to start the car if it will start for that matter.

Thank you everyone for those lightening fast replays im already feeling a little better.

Was the upper and lower hose hot and was the heater core hoses hot? You could have a bad thermostat.

Everything was hot the upper one was to hot to hold on to. I did not check the lower one though.

Wow there was more snow as well as ice then i thought.

Stop "drifting" into snowbanks :)

Im sorry it wont ever happen again :(. i didnt think i hit hard 2 I get a little jealous of you evo guys pawning snow like you do. That was some hard and compact snow all cleared up. Now refilling. I feel stupid there is no cap on the radiator lol. Must be the one by the elbow. Everyday i learn as i go with this car.

I think im gonna need a radiator flush soon. I can see little black debries when i massage the hose. >_< This is like having a baby gotta make it burb after being fed lol

Well i filled it up. All the snow is cleared. Good thing is it started. The temperature is right in the middle right now. Not going up or anything. Its smoking from the radiotor cap i thnik its cause i dropped spiloled some coolant on it i hope. My exhaust is still burning clean even if i give it decent amount of gas. The radiator cap/elbow (dont know the specific name for it) its still steaming or smoking whatever u wanna call it. Only problem next test is a compression test. Kind of hard by myself.

Most compression test gauges will hold the needle until you release the pressure so you can very easily do it alone.

Alright im gonna take care of that. Ive been meaning to do one. Due to my numbers being so low from the day i bought it.

If there is any moisture on the outside of the coolant hoses/pipes or engine it is going to steam.
