Temperature Problem

[pocket rocket]

does any one know where to find the sensor for the temp. gage. My problem is over heating so I disconnected the tubing that goes to the head. After doing this 5 times it was not overheating BUT now the temperature gage stays on the " C " cold position. ANY ONE HAVE A SOLUTION. i JUST HAD TWIN TURBOS INSTALLED ON MY BABY.

Thanks Sarge, I'll ck. the plug and I guess if it is plugged in I'll remove the the stat. Keep you posted.

well the good news is the temp gage is working, but the engine is still overheating. Well I should say the gage reads just under 1/2 way and does not indicate a overheating problem but the coolant reservor over flows when the engine is turned off. You can see it filling then over flows and not as much as it did before, but still sucks. any ideas on what can be causing this problem.

Overflow from the radiator to the tank is normal. From the tank to outside probably means you have too much coolant in the tank. Also, do you think the TTs might have something to do with it?? In any event, if the temperature gauge is at the midpoint, you are OK.

well, I had remove one of the exhaust manifold to repair an exh. leak since then I have had this problem, so I don't believe the turbos are the problem and besides that I HAVE NOT tried to make boost because of this problem.

the Sarge mentioned taking the car to a dealer ,BUT will the dealer work on the car with major mods. in the engine bay.The car only has 16,000 miles on it. Mods: twin turbos, cam, springs and push rods, sport tune, magna flow exhaust, dmh cut outs, and of couse gage pod

Did Nelson install the turbo's?

[pocket rocket]

yes nelson performance did the install. but it is not completed yet because the exhaust was leaking on both manifolds. I took apart the left side and took it allen to weld the stock to the turbo intake manifold. He said he would try to repair the other side when there is room for my car......... so yes.

hey Sarge The problem with the reservoir over flowing was fixed when Dave @ the boerne dealership pressureized the cooant system. It seems in my haste to get the car running I connected the reservoir line to the pressure side of the radiator. Simple an stupid I was looking at problem and still couldn't see it.
