illl be sitting there and its luke warm and ill rev it to like 2k and it gets hotter automatically so what im thinking is that when it revs it makes the water pump push more coolant through the partially clogged areas of the core

so im thinking thats the problem

i also have a problem.. my car doesnt stay warm itll warm up fine but if i drive around it will go back down to almost C on the temp guage.. so i put a pice of cardboard on the rad and it made it a bit better...

could be that, bad pump, or no thermostat or it is staying open

sounds like a thermostat problem (staying open or non existant)

 

sounds like your thermostat is staying open or there is no thermostat present in the cooling system.

 

i had the same problem when my dseries was in and i replaced the thermostat and tested the old one both were completely functionial

 

how did u test if they were fuctional?

 

put it in a hot pot of water on the stove and watched the thermometer as it opened..

 

did you test the temperature when the opened? did u see if it closed fully?
what kind of thermostat did you use.

 

one from autozone.. but that was in the dseries.... my thermo works fine in this one ive waited and felt the upper andlower hoses and bottom would stay cold while top was hot.. then after a while the bottom would start to warm

 

i assume the cooling system is properly bled of all air

 

yes sir.. its very wierd... i covered my rad with a few pieces of cardboard and it helped a little bit with the engine tempurature but the heat isnt hot still.... when i rev it it will get kinda hot but no other times... so i am guessing its time for a timing belt, water pump ,and a new heater core
