hey guys I cant figure out why im overheating ? I see no leaks ive bleed the system but i think i may have not did it right it has a new thermostat and rad cap…only overheats when I get off the freeway or if im driving fast then slow down or come to a light but as soon as i drive again it is fine I can let the car idle and it wont overheat as long as i havent driven freeway speeds…I cant seem to figure it out… and my fans are hardwired hoping its not the water pump but i see no leaks at all
Why are your fans hard wired? Should put it back to stock so it works the way the ecu wants it to. How many miles are you at?
have them hard wired because i got the car and they werent even hooked up the fan relays had been cut out so i just hard wired them in the mean time and theres about 85k on the motor
somebody made a valid point in one of the other piles of overheating threads as of late; and that was when the fans are hardwired, they actually block air from being pulled through the rad at higher speeds. could be your problem
Try topping up your antifreeze level by adding more fluid. I had a similar problem - it was just low.
I have the same problem. When i idle for too long it will overheat. Once i step on the gas to rev up the engine it will cool down. Very wierd thing. I’d probably look into the water pump. Only thing i have not changed out, just dont have the money to do it right now.
