Degas bottle. If it is cracked above the coolant level then you won't loose any coolant, it just won't let the cooling system pressurize. The cooling system need to be able to build pressure in order for it to cool properly. Mine was doing the same thing until I replaced the degas bottle with a...

Mine did the same. High speed fan comes on around 228*. Ensure a factory thermostat was used. Also check the degas bottle. It usually cracks where you can't see it.

If you are getting a P0340 and you just did the timing chain, chances are the timing is off or the sensor was damage.

I installed a little boom boom in the trunk. Nothing stupid crazy just a little to help the lower end.

Yes you can. You can also delete all other keys ( good if you buy a used car). You can also read the "pid" in the DDM(drivers door module) to get the factory key pad code.

I will be getting an alignment on my next day off. The end links came pre greased, and I greased them also. even after driving on it for several days it continued to pop. When I removed it it was unable to move the joints by hand. Way to freaking tight. It was a moog end link. The new...

I replaced my upper control arms. Not to bad of a job. Also had to replace one of the new swaybar endlinks that I installed last week. The joints were to tight causing a popping sound every time the suspension moved.

I installed a aftermarket radio. Also installed the brand new $25 center a/c vent and buttons.... Thanks ebay. Ordered some new upper control arms to fix knocking and squeaking.

Exactly what mine was doing before I changed the degas bottle and thermostat.

I'm also gonna do my fuel filter today. Never do it on one of these car.

I replaced the swaybar bushings and end links. That was a fun job!. Now I hear all the other noises from the front suspension. Time to order more parts.

That and if you have a aftermarket thermostat/housing, replace it with a factory unit. The aftermarkets are smaller than the factory thermostat.

My over heating problem is finally fixed for good!!!! I sold the car!;) Just kidding. I replaced the thermostat and housing with oem stuff, and I replaced the dorman degas bottle with a ford bottle and cap. Bled the system and it runs perfect! Before at idle the temp would climb to 239* and...
