damn sux to be you!!

 

yes u did

 

i think you did f*ck up Dima, i think you f*cked up bad!! YOU NAUGHTY NAUGHTY BOI!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

SPANK FOR JOO!!!!!! *SPANK*

 

no big deal, same thing that happens when there is an air bubble in your coolant system. just fix any damage to the radiator and fill that baby up.. be sure to burp the system too.

 

uhh...damn...

 

Why didn't you just by the radiator yourself and install it? Would've save you some money...

 

wow sucks

 

you are a dumbass! Why the hell would you keep the car running just to make that video when you KNEW there was a problem?!?

 

I was didnt notice the temp gauge was up untill i viewed the video...i dont know that much about cars so i sent my friend that video...it was recorded on a cellphone, i needed a oppinion. Reason i didnt instlall it myself is 1. I dont know how 2.I didnt know what was wrong to begin with.

 

back off Dima schmitey, some folks dont know as much as you son

 

Burp Burp- I had to do the same thing. Take the cap off a cold rad. Burp the lines from the bottom up.. Just worry about the big hoses.. Start the car and let it ilde through two fan cycles and you very well may be ok.. If not they is may be one of the sesnors on your t-body.. I forget what one but the burp should do it..

 

i ain't your "son" bitch, and even the untrained driver can smell a hot engine and/or hear it boiling

When lights start going off on the instrument cluster, a 5 yr old would know something is wrong.

My thoughts exactly.

 

thanks rice! It's like when I was working at the tire shop, people would drive five extra miles to the shop so they wouldn't have to change the tire. By the time they got to the shop their tire was destroyed and they'd have to buy a new one.

true dat, but you are my son

 

Here's the ******* prob.....nothing went off on the insturment panel.....i think i have a larger problem on hands.......nothing was displayed on my insturment panel nothing except my parking brake........i thought about that to, shouldent my check engine light go off.?

 

When you have a temp gauge it is normally run inlue of the cel. Cel are more for sensor issues.. The temp gauge is not connected. The first thing to do with a car is to understand how it works. I am not a mechanic by any means however i have learned alot since I bought my honda. You may need want to consider replacing your thermostat when you do the radiator.. Spiking the needle is never a good thing.. While driving you could not smell the radiator leadking.. I had a needle hole in my and I drove for 20 min and almost passed out.. Wasn't the car running rough or really hot.. ( If it happens in the future. Turn on your heat and drive it on and the windows down.. If you must drive.. But the best is to find a tow truck.) let us know how it turns out..

 

Hey thnx for your consern..... it all got fixed and the car runs fine but i did another major **** up when i cleaned out my egr valves i stripped the O'rings and now i have leaking fuel injectors.......so trully im used to the smell thats why i couldent smell ****..... Ohh and a question...how long can a car run without proper cooling before major damage occurs.....and about the fuel injec. im getting the parts tomarrow and gonna fix er up good.

 

Great to hear that she is up and running again.. Have a great week and let us know how it runs after you get the injectors fixed

 

you seem be having a lot of bad luck

 

I'd say so.

 

If the cars starts and runs normally, the pulsing idle and stuck on high temp gauge mean nothing more than a bad thermostat and gauge sending unit. Replace both.
