Well guys, got the car fired up on Saturday to make sure everything was set fine, had a very very rough idle, I would try to slowly rev up the car and it would crap out on me at 2K and drop the rpms to idle automatically, but if I romped on the gas, it would go up just fine. Got it all back together Saturday night around 10:00pm and went for a spin. On the freeway car is cruising, exhaust sounds different, but awesome, very smooth. A/C is on full blast, the car is not overheating at all!!
I pull off the freeway to turn around, I pull through an intersection, waiting for the light to turn back on to the freeway and my check engine light comes on...WTF...look at the coolant temp and it is soaring, just sitting there, so I turn off the A/C it drops a tiny bit, I pull onto the onramp and it is screaming high, so I shut it down, throw on the hazards and throw up the hood. Steam follows, the upper radiator hose blew off...dammit.
I call up my girlfriend to come rescue me so I can go get some water. I throw about a gallon and a half of water into the system and drive her back home.
Sunday:
Throw in the water wetter and some antifreeze to top the system off. Girlfriend and I drive to church, everything seems fine, but no need for very much A/C. Drive back home at around 12:30, it's about 105* outside and my temps start climbing. Turn the A/C back down to the first notch and the temp going to just above normal....all that work I did was for nothing.
My Options:
1) Antifreeze mixture is too much water, probably around 75% water right now, need to throw in more antifreeze.
2) Stock A/C fan just isn't going to cut it, need to get a spal ASAP
fuck I hate this car.
...at least it doesn't look like there is any more oil in my antifreeze.
Any more suggestions, greatly appreciated. ___________________________________
