Grocery Getter
ok so ive been tinkering with my car trying to find my problem for about a month and a half on and off when im free and im out of ideas so ne help guys wld be GREAT!
so a little history, first i noticed that after a few min my upper radiator hose wld fill with air, so i wld open the bleeder let it all drain out, the fans wld kick on and then it wld happen again.
so i thought it was my t-stat stuck closed, changed it and nothing. then i noticed that my radiator had a small leak. so i replaced that...still no solution. but i noticed that my fans no longer come on now. i just wanted to start fresh so i replaced the fan switch, coolant temp sensor, and the sending unit. now two days agot i was told that i need to take the t-stat out and see if the problem happens faster and its the water pump....well it did. so i replaced the water pump ( and when i got to it i noticed there was coolant leaking around the gasket) flushed the system and my problems as of right now are.....the hottest the t-stat gets is 160, while the block is running at around 250-300 and then fans do not come on (no matter how long i run the car (45min)) and it still fills with air!!!!! i just ran a compression test and all 4 cylinders read btwn 175 and 180
does ne one have any advice or heard of a similar problem????
