so i changed on of my hose of the radiator the lower one and i put the coolant in made sure no air in the system then i left it on for like 10 min then the top hose got hot kinda hot and the bottom one was still warm and then i took it for a drive and drove fine i hit boost and stilll fine then i got home driving slow and started overheating agan then the needle stayed like 3/4 of the way to the H and both of the hoses were kinda hot do you guys think its my thermostat thats bad ???? need help !!!!!!

 

Pull the thermostat out and see if engine runs hot without one. 94

 

and also i took it for a drive out today and then needle was just at half and i turned on the heater full blast and it keeped it a little bit under just perfect does that mean my fan isnt turning on when its suppose to

 

did you fill it to capacity? you need to heat the car up till the t-stat opens and top the radiator off.

 

im taking the thermostat out today and jumping the fan hopefully that solves my problem !

 

Using the heater will always help drop engine temperature.

Have you checked to see if your rad fan is on, [running] when gauge indicates engine temp. is high?

Overheating only when stopped or moving slowly is an indication of a rad fan not working, at speed there is enough air movement that the fan is not needed. 94

 

so i took the thermostat out today and my fan works fine i can hear it but my heater hose was leaking today so i guess i now have to change that one hopefully thats the last problem because fan works the thermostat is out and i bled it already !!

 

Does it still run hot with thermostat out?94

 

well it was running fine then it overheated so i checked and the heater hose popped and leaked alot of coolant could that be why it over heated again
