Change the thermostat to a 160, then you're car will never go over 160

That is waaaaay too hot. Slice open your lower radiator hose so the coolant can escape and cool off. The extra air coming into the hose will help cool the engine off. You some kinda n00b or sumthin'?

These cars are designed to run at 240° or higher.
You need to take your car to a dealership as no one else is qualified to work with the black magic under the hood Last edited by jhammons01; 01-20-2011 at 9:40am. |

In fact, use pieces of cardboard and slide them between the radiator and A/C condensor. This will help raise the temps where they belong.

My 94 runs between 205 and in the summer 230. Being old school when it went above 200 for the first time I freaked. Still not comfy when it goes above 215.
