over heating

jersey98gt · September 18th, 2007, 10:23 PM

alright i was driving home from school stop and go traffic well no go actually, all of sudden my fan comes on then 5 min later my temp guage skyrockets and i start to smoke, I turn on the heat and push my car to the shoulder, i pop the hood coolent all over the battery the power steering pulley, and all over my dipstick, i open the coolent reservoir it had enough coolent before i release the pressure, then the pressure lets off and all the coolent is gone, i look to see on the highway the spot where i started to smoke and their is collent everywhere.. so i got a tow to my perofrmance shop 6 hours later...any thought what it could be? my guess is a thermostat because the colling fan was coming the last 2 weeks even with low temps outside.

.

HMUSN · September 18th, 2007, 10:30 PM

yea.. the non pi intakes and even the pi ones are prone to cracking.

well.. it's at the shop now so our suggestions don't really matter do they?

I say it's one one these things:

Radiator
Thermostat
Intake
Bad hose.

jersey98gt · September 18th, 2007, 10:33 PM

this same thing happened to my dad when he owned the car 2 years ago except his fan blew and they replaced the whole fan assembly so i know its not the fan, the thermostat looks corroded as hell and i just went out side and i have the alluminum crossover
