Hmm, this is weird. The faster I go, the hotter my car gets. At 70 Mph, I'm running around 3,000 rpm. My cars temp slowly rises. Today, I got on the freeway at 200* and went 10 miles or so, and rose to 235*, still rising as I got off the freeway. I have a band new water pump, brand new rad. cap, and no t-stat in it. The rad. is 1 year old, and still works good, I had it checked. Any ideas?

 

look to make sure u have the air dam installed, im pretty sure its your problem, it may look a little different on a camaro then what u see in the picture.. But you should know if its missing..

 

Yep, check for the air dam. Also check to make sure your lower radiator hose isn't collapsing under high rpms.

 

Yeah, I have an air dam. I'll have to check out the lower rad. hose tomorrow. Also, could 90* elbow bends, made of plastic, installed in the hose that runs from the heater core to the intake be restricive enough to cause that? I have 2 installed to make the hoses a little easier to work with.

Thanx

 

I checked out the lower rad. hose, and it started to flatten out as rpm increased. I checked it 5 minutes later and it didn't do it. It's a brand new hose made by ecr. Any ideas? What causes it to flatten out?

 

It should have a spring in it to prevent it from flattening. Stick a timing light on that engine and post the timing at 3000 rpm. Could also be running lean and cause an overheat problem.

 

It does have a spring in it.

 

Total spark adv. at 3000rpm is 38*
