motor: f22b1

Well my friend's car was overheating really bad, but still running fine.
He attempted to change his water pump, but after many tries of trying to take off the crank pulley nut, he couldnt get it off, so he put it back to running condition and ran it even tho it is still overheating

BUT now it runs like crap! here are some problems he told me he had below

Problems:
1. overheating (still)
2. bogging really bad
3. really bad acceleration
4. starts up bad and slowly
5. low idle
6. cant make it up hills in 1st gear, jus stalls
7. just running terrible

Please someone help my friend out, he doesnt have an account on here so i jus posted this for him, thanks in advance

bump for some thoughts

 

Blown....Please don't run engines hot. Take a comp reading from the cyl's. Look at the coolant, oil in it-coolant in the oil.

 

Did he bleed the cooling system through the nipple on the manifold?
?
Seems like that would be the simplest thing to check. Air bubbles in the system will cause all sorts of havoc.

 

do you really think so?
and ill tell him to check it
na he didnt
what does that do?

let the air out of it?
sorry im a noob

and yeah i heard air in the coolant will make idle weird and stuff
well i ask

 

I think that should read Located on the thermostat housing, mike.

 

How far into the TB replacement did he make it? Did he ever get to draining the coolant or just get stuck with the crank bolt? Trying to figure out if the TB attempt introduced any air into the system or was it there to begin with.

 

Man, I just thove that picture, its not like I own it I can barely read that blue ink.
Open that nipple and it will 'burp' the trapped air out of the intake manifold. Just crack it open ~1/2 turn or until its starts to stream coolant. Once you have a solid stream of coolant out of the nipple, close it. Start the car let it warm up and see if that clears up any issues.

 

always bleed the air out that was what was wrong with my ex i got off a buddy. he didn't bleed it for a few months and boom blowed it up
