so i checked my cap its the right one i left it off till my car heated up to temp burped one bubble and that was it put it back on and contintued watching my upper hose over expanded again and got warm again but my lower hose was cold but was normal pressure. my car still doesnt overheat but i noticed my fans dont kick on ever..??...what could this be?? thermostat? bad fan motors?..my fuses all seem to be fine..need to fix it asap

 

Blockage?

 

where would it be blocked? in my hose? or in my motor?..or what and how would i flush or try n unblock the hoses and radiator and motor?

 

Have you replaced/checked anything past getting the air out of the system? Is your fan actually working? Replace that hose at the very least. New thermostats aren't that expensive either.

 

ive watched it long enough for the motor to be completely warmed up and the fans should have kicked on by then you would think but iv never seen them work yet i just bought thr car a few wweeks ago and iv periodically checked to see if they work but have never seen them kick on yet

 

I didn't ask if you've seen them work. I need to know if the fan CAN work.

 

well theres no reason it shouldnt right? its all wired fine and no fuses are blown how do i check and make sure there working correctly?

 

so i just put my old rad cap back on and the upper hose deff didnt build any pressure at all car staid at normal temp and fans never kicked on put new cap back on hose over expanded again and car stayed in normal temp fans still didnt kick on and the whole time my lower hose stayed cold ...what would cause this?....

 

How cold is it in Oregon at the moment?

 

im in tri cities washington and its probably mid thirties

 

why? and how do check my radiator fan to make its not ****ed up too?

 

Jump the fan connector, un plug it at the thermostat take a paper clip and put each end in each hole in the connector then turn the car to position 2 and see if the fan works.

It takes a lot of running to get the fan to kick on by itself.

 

Dude why not just take it in the shop and put a new hose and themostat on and have the system flushed and filled and then be done with it?

 

You need to take it to the shop to do that? Too easy a job.

 

yeah jump the fan as said earlier. if it starts then fan is ok
then if your lower hose stays cold even with old cap then ur thermostate is stuck close.
as for over expansion of upper hose, ur new cap is out of specs i.e. not opening & letting the water/coolent to reserve bottle

 

how are you going to build a K24 if u need to take a car to a shop to replace the T stat and a hose


Here do what i did

1st run a water hose trough your heater core in the opposite way it circulates for about 3 minutes
2nd replace the thermostat with an OEM t-stat
3rd use distilled water in the system untill all coolant is gone and the debris too just keep pouring it in while you have the radiator plug loose i used 3 gallons
4th use 50/50 pre dilluted coolant
5th let the heat slider be all the way on warm but no fan on so it gets hot and the coolant circulates all the way trough the system
6th burp the system again took me about 1hr to do it on mine

put the radiator cap back on and top up you overflow tank see if it works

 

Dude don't get stupid and childish. I was making da assumption that he could take it in and do it himself. The flush and all, not pay to have it done. Unless you just wanna be lazy and do that. Up to him. You on the other hand just wanna act smart. Oh and don't worry bout my build. Since I've been talking with humble performance about it. Yosolo and all them.
