My car overheats on long drives when the ambient temp gets above 80F. The car does not have the thermostat or cable attached to the cooling flappers. I've rotated the flapper rod and I can hear the flappers. Without the thermostat, the flappers should be in the open position, correct? But the car still overheats. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Maybe the flappers are closed? Any thoughts? Thanks

Engine compartment seal good ? plug seals all in place ?,engine tin all present and in place?,no vacuum leaks? is the engine clean or oil and dirt covered ? and then all the stuff already mentioned,one or more or all these thing can have a huge difference in running temp,don't run your engine too long if its overheating it can really bugger up an aircooled engine in a big way.
Good luck. |
