96272, Need help asap please.....
Posted by slooow, Feb-09-06 03:36 PM
Ok I'm sorry for inconvienience but I really don't have time to search for this, i just replaced my stock temp. gauge sensor (the little one) with one for an aftermarket gauge (which is yet to be hooked up and doesn't leak) and got all that back together and had my upper rad. hose drip coolant for about 10 minutes before I noticed, I don't know how much it lost but I don't think it pretains to this issue. I was testing after I did all this when i felt a sudden power surge like my ps pump had just fallen off or I had just thrown a 350lb. passenger out the door (don't know any other way to describe it) and thats when I noticed the smoking from the hose dripping. Went home and fixed it and now my car runs fine until it gets warmed up and will nearly die with a really rough idle about 500-800rpms. It was running fine while leaking. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you re-fill your radiator with coolant>? Is there any fluid in your coolant reservoir?
