The housing that holds the thermostat is to hot to touch but yet the hose coming from it is cold... There is no thermostat in the unit so its not the thermostat being dumb ... what else could cause this? I havent had a problem with the car overheating at all until after I cleaned the IACV and FITV.

 

did you bleed out the coolant air pockets
and i would recomend a thermostat be in there

 

radiator is probably clogged or the hose is clogged

sometihgn is not letting water through and its either the lower rad hose or the rad itself

 

yea .. had an overheating problem a few weeks ago.. took the thermo out and it fixed it.. car ran great til tonight when I cleaned the IACV and FITV. I'll be replacing it sometime this week.

I took the cap off the radiator and let it run .. I couldn't find the bleeder screw on the thermostat housing tho. I seen a diagram of where it should be but couldn't see it.

 

took the bottom hose off where its connected to the thermostat and the housing was completely dry.

 

fixed..

retard mistake of forgetting to refill it with coolant
