Overheating - 91 RS with 350
1991 Camaro RS - 350 from Z28
------------------------------
Original Radiator "Looks like"
Took T-Stat Out
Boils Water, Pressure Lower Hose, No Pressure Upper Hose But Feel Steem
No Leaks, Full Radiator
Over Heated Twice "First time Took T-Stat Out"
------------------------------
(Was driving got about 40 miles after I bought this car and it shut off on me, temp gauge don't work which worried me and I need to fix this ASAP esp for these reasons... Anyway the ICM got too hot and fried, replaced Cap, Button, Pickup Coil, Ignition Coil, ICM and I had fire again, this is when I took T-Stat Out Before I Did All That)
Well, Headed down the road and it shut off again after 20 miles!!! Got hot not nearly as hot but still hot... Didn't fry anything this time, just computer shut it off before major damage happened... -- Towed Home.
------------------------------
Okay, I know what Cooling problems could be but would like some light shed on this if you had this problem.
Air Dam - ? I'm pretty sure it's missing, was told not needed!
Clog - ? This is high on my list, going to check when I'm home!
Radiator - ? This would be same as Clog.
Radiator Cap - ? Original Cap, was told this could do that.
T-Stat - ? Is removed pretty sure that's not the problem.
Water Pump - ? Was told not leaking then its not broken.
When I go home I'm going to flush it and refill, myself, I don't trust whoever owned it before me after this so will flush any clogs out of the system, and refill while running, let cool, add water etc...
If anyone else can shed some light or personal experiences with this type of Overheating, thanks!
