So any suggestions anyone. I clearly am up in a rut about it. Today, worse stop and go traffic than yesterday and she ran fine....sigh.....

HMMM. Never thought that the bad coils would cause overheat, is that a common problem? But to answers Joe's question, the temp gauge would climb But no smoke, no leaking atifreeze or anything. My aftermarket fan is running fine. I dont know what the issue could be. So do you all suggest i...

ok joe, driving home in stop and go traffic again after work just to get her home and no overheat issues? Does that sound strange to you? Air bubble maybe?

lol duh thanks joe

Thanks joe, where are the throttle body heater hoses located?

So been a couple of days and everything was going fine, and all of a sudden temp needle started to climb. Any ideas what it could be? Changed degas bottle, hoses, t stat. Coolant level is good. Maybe air bubble in there somewhere. Like i said went a couple of days and everything was fine...

oh..sorry guys lol so replaced the degas bottle, and t stat, changed radiator hoses. Took me a long time to figure out the bleed system and FINALLY get all the air bubbles out. Heat is working and no more overheating. Thanks for all the help.

UPDATE: Got her running again, good solid heat and everything is good!! Thanks guys for helping.

so should i do the proceedure again to make sure there are no air bubbles to get the heat hotter? Because it was warm but not hot

this is what it says on the tech article step #17 On all engines 17. Set the heater temperature setting to 24° C (75° F) and allow the vehicle to idle for two minutes. 18. Shut the engine off and allow to cool. 19. After the engine has cooled, add coolant to the degas bottle...

ok joe, quick question, when doing the bleed, i got warmish hot air, so i dropped to 75 degrees F and let idle for two mins (still warm, not hot), then shut her off to allow to cool off. do you think i need to repeat the bleed process to get the heat to hot once she cools down, or do you...

Thanks Joe, I think that is where I was making my mistake, I should have been filling them all the way up ok, and check the two hoses on passenger side going into firewall? How long typically do auxillary pumps last?

one more thing joe or anyone, if the car was hot and running and got to normal operating temperature, what hose do i check to make sure the the auxillary pump in functioning? is it the two hoses going back to the fire wall on passengerside, or is there another hose to check.

ok maybe i screwed up joe, are you supposed to fill coolant all the way to the top to where it is almost overflowing where the fill cap goes, and keep the coolant level at max line in degas bottle, OR, do i fill both the fill cap level all the way up(to where it is overflowing almost), and then...

after opening the heater air bleed, i noticed it was spitting out and also as soon as i opened the air bleed the coolent in degas bottle started bubbling...bad sign?

joe, do you think also it could be failing water pump? how long initially does the process go for..15 minutes 20 mins..the longest i heard was 30 minutes. When i bleed it i get a dripple and a small steady stream but then it stops then comes out. Should i just let it sit at idle for longer...

@ls4me,after the number counting it just displayed all lit heat symbols symbols on it, that was it also car still overheating when i rev the car at 2k rpms..any suggestions

also running car and bleeding and it is overheating once i run the high rpm stage of the bleed and suggestions

ok joe, as soon as i started the test all these numbers started going dont know if i am reading these right but they were listing kind of fast, is there anything else to be done after it stops listing the numbers? 1 24 22 3 3 22 4 21 5 20 6 19 1 18 8 17 9 16 10 15 17 8 18 7 20 5...
