Hello,

sorry to "bump" my post, but there doesn't seem to be a way to
subscribe to just a discussion?

Anyhow, here was teh last thing I was wondering in my previous
discussion....

Here's another thing I thought I would mention and get some info for.
....

Since the new radiator, my car cannot stay in normal (the temp guage
inside). It gets just to the edge then falls back to the Blue Cold
erea. I imagine it falls when the thermostat opens up but with all my
reading lately it seems important for readings and sensors to be in
such a range or it tries to compensate. Maybe it reading cold all the
time keeps the idle up, maybe the high idle would effect the shifting
at times? Just throwing ideas out. Tomorrow evening I will fully
inspect the vacuum line, and some have sugested replaceing the
following parts


1. PCV valve
2. MAP sensor
3. TP sensor
4. Fuel filter (maybe for the heck of it?)
5. Idle Air Control vlave
6. VSS... which was here


I can get all *except the map sensor (have't found that yet)* for
around 60 bucks for my make/model. I guess that's not much really, and

I would learn more- that's always good. Are any of those rediculous?


I will put in any amount of time- I can look at the time as a hobby
but as for money, I would like the whole project to stay within $100 -
$150.


Oh and I forgot another thing, the water pump and hoses were also
replaced alog with the idler pully last fall. Come to think of it,
perhaps I will go to that guy for the noise as after I had the jpump
changed there was a similar rattling- and that is when he charged me
for the idler pully, said the bearings were bad. - thanks for
mentioning that part!


Thanks again... and again...

Thanks for any and all who help.

Put in a 195º thermostat.

Do look for a bleed screw of some typr on the top of the thermostat housing
or on top of the intake manifold. Up and down sounds like air to me.

T-stat stuck open? Can you get heat out of the dash?

jc_101

Yeah, the heat is definately working. you see, after warming up the
car it goes down to C like that- then it takes a while to bget back up
to normal - like it has to warm up again. as far as the heat goes, it
is effected, but little. for the most part, it kicks out some hot
heat- at least that's good.

Don't forget to check out the link to the rest of the posts- lots of
stuff I could use help on if there's time.

thanks!
