Ok, I put on a Skunk2 Manifold the other day and just turned on the car today. Now my car is over heating. It moves down to hot then back to normal, etc. I have coolant, because I put some on there. I just dont know what wrong now.

Any help would be apreciated.

P.S. I searched but I dont find an article pertaining my symptom(s).

 

BUMP.

 

I bet without much information it is an air pocket... turn the car on while its cold without the radiator cap on. Once it runs for a bit keep adding coolant until its full leave the cap off until the coolant and engine start to get hot... put the cap back on and drive it come home let it cool down and add more coolant.

if it isnt your fan not coming on it is deffinately your coolant/waterpump/therm

If that does not fix it, take out your thermostat and run without it... but KEEP checking your coolant, if it is a water pump going out your car will not overheat as easilly without a thermostat and if your losing coolant you've deff got a leak somewhere, keep checking coolant, drive, let cool down, check and fill, drive let cool down, check , fill.

repeat until fixed.

 

naw dont take out your thermostat if your going to take it out just replace it its less than 10 bucks. if this didn't happen befor the intake manifold then check your wiring you might of switched around some sensors

 

check the wiring, it could be off, also check if there is any air pockets in your coolant system

 

ive swapped out skunk2 mani on before, wiring is on perfect.

I did notice I was missing quite a small chunk of coolant.

 

For you to say that you have swapped out a manifold before as if you did it perfectly is a little bit foolish seeing as you now have a problem with the car. I would say bleed the system and refill it (and make sure the in cabin thermostat is in the red when you do). Work your way from there.
