Sup guys, long time no post here!
I just came back from Europe, a 2 weeks long trip.
and I ONLY saw one 1996 Green Eclipse GS in Switzerland Zurich. Damn, went to 6 countries and only saw ONE eclipse.
Anyway, I have a big issue about my eclipse.
but let me say, I searched on over heat and so on, but my question here is mainly asking on what the problem could be, so please give me your opinions.
The problem is simple, my engine is overheating. Today in NYC the air temperature outside is around 90+ degree under direct sun light, and I drove for about 30 miles. I did brought my logger, so I plug it in. at one point, it did shoot up to 245+ degree. (only once) so when I go home, i carefully looked at my Coolant gauge, EGT gauge, and my datalogger (coolant temperature in numeric values)
And I kinda found this out.
1) Temp won't go higher then 214 or 216 until a longer drive on highway maybe after 20-30 minutes drive
2) after long drive ^^^, and temperature go up to 230+, at idle, I REV the engine to high RPM, and the temp will not go down right away (so is that mean it's not the waterpump problem?)
3) I realize that when the EGT go up to 1450F and above, the temp of the coolant shown in my logger will climb up (keep going up) like 228, 230, 232, 234, 236 etc.
What could it be? please help?
Water pump? coolant? themostat? cap?
let me tell you what I did before to the car.
1) turbo charged.
2) just pulled the head 3 months ago, changing Headgasket, all gaskets, brand new water pump, timing belt, tensioner, pulleys, flushed the coolant, etc.
So, I really do'nt think it can be the water pump, but can it be the coolant mixture is not good? or I think the most chance will be themostat? please help!!!
Sorry for the long post, but it's getting hot here, and with a turbo charged car, of course I will be race in the summer, but if it get over heated like this, I can't do shit!!!
SO please help! thanks all.
