2 Questions (Brakes and Sluggish Performance)

itschristorres8 · September 19th, 2006, 05:04 PM

k i did like u sed...sprayed the carb cleaner, while the car was on over the intake manifold and vacuum lines and nothing. no idle surge and nuthin i had a lil steam come off the lines near the intake but i think thats normal and fine.
i havent done my 0-60 yet cuz the roads are wet and its dangerous right now but i'll see how it goes....i do think its just the heat though. i'll just ice my intake and intake manifold befor i go for any runs

what do you mean by runs? i hope you arent icing it for daily driving, it seems pointless anyhow unless it is an all out race application

at high temps yes. depending on tune, the fan comes on at dif. temps. i doubt ice will make a difference on a 15-16 second car though

itschristorres8 · September 19th, 2006, 05:28 PM

well i turned my car on and the fan already turned on...it was a hot day as usuall but it turned on

how long was it since it was last on? check your coolant level, if they are okay and everything functions normally, you may not have anything to worry about

itschristorres8 · September 19th, 2006, 05:34 PM

the level is good...its not completely full but about 3/4 full or a lil more maybe. it wasnt on til yesterday...

what do you mean 3/4 full? as long as it is between the min and max lines, you are fine. if you aren't overheating, you are fine. your car will slug in high heat or humidity. you dont need ice to cool it down. in fact, if you put cold ice on hot aluminum, it will crack and then you will get some bad leaks

itschristorres8 · September 19th, 2006, 06:13 PM

its actually at the max line....should i take sum out if its that high?

AtlanticBlue99 · September 19th, 2006, 06:26 PM
