#33617, "Overheating contained...........hopefully!!!!!!!"




          

Well, I spoke to some of you in AIM about my overheating probs. that occured this past couple of days. It would go to 3\4 on idling and go back to normal during cruise. It also goes back to normal when I turn the AC on. Some said relay, some said wiring, others said fan, and also the thermostat.

I pretty much ruled out the fan cuz they both kick in when I turn my AC on. Had no clue how to check the relay, so I started with checking with the easiest and most obvious, the thermostat and cap. I went to my parts store and got a stock range thermo. and a cap made for a GS-T. Put those on, let my car warmed up, and cross my fingers.............BAM...........driver side fan kicked in. Waited for a few minutes and it kicked in again.

So far, it seemed that it was just the thermo., hopefully, but the real test will come tommorow on a hot FL afternoon. I'll keep you guys posted.

Damn nobody cares emoji j\k!!!! Anyway, it was nice and hot today and the needle stayed in the middle. When I got to school, my reservoir was empty, so I filled it back up after classes. Got back home, needle stayed in the middle, popped the hood, and the reservoir was almost the same level as when I topped it off. Hopefully, this is a good sign. To all those who helped me on AIM, thanks!!!!!
