Hey Guys, I need your expertice on a situation:
Please read this because I need to get this thing running smothly again
ASAP..and the warranty on the used engine I bought expires this month, so I
greatly appreciate your help.
Scenario:
-Temp Gauge in car is acting strange, going from warm (normal operating
heat) to cool rapidly (in about 2 seconds), occuring mainly when I punch the
accelerator. Temp gauge has not gone over the mid range point.
-Last night, I saw steam coming from coolant boiling off the exhaust
manifold blowing from under the hood...quite a bit. I killed the engine
right there. TEMP GAUGE DID NOT REGISTER THE OVERHEAT.
-I checked my 'heat tab' they placed on my engine when I purchased and
swapped it and it is still good, so I did not burn it too badly...
I need to know whats up so I can possibly get this done for free. Is it the
engine or a component? Have I given enough info? Thanks again for your
responses.
