So this morning i force feed a tea spoon on coolant under the rad. cap just for the hel- of it. take it for a drive and beat on it for 5 min.

Still running hoter than ever. I jump on the highway and slame 3 no lift shifts and get up to about 100 before layin off. prior temp 205 (unheard of in my SS) get off at the closest exit, Sit at a light , and see the temp at 196

What, so i drive on , 194 were it stayed for 5 miles till i got home, Pulled it into the garage and let it run for 20 min. max temp was 200.

Confused but happy its back to the norm. Maybe there was a burp in the coolant sys. (that lasted 2 days )

but i ran it a few times today and all is back to normal. ?

 

haha

 

If it got a burp in a sealed system. There is a reason.. I'm sure you will be keeping an eye on it..

cute avatar.

 

my 2 cents is I would think somthing is wrong if you never noticed the fan kick on unless you live in alaska haha, I dont have an ss but a 217 fan kick on is normal for my car on a regular basis 2.2lt. thats why the fan is there, i think it has come on hundreds of times you just never noticed, it should come on when you turn the ac on too. I dont think anything is wrong with your car probably just the first time you noticed, there is no way possible you sat at a light or anywhere for 2 or 3 minutes and your car stayed at 194 in my opinion. what about traffic, the bat hhr is fine!!!!

 

Its to try and stop harleyhhrs avatar baby from smokin. And is temporary

 

I went to the track last week and while waiting in the staging lanes I notice my coolant temp was at 206. This was just after a 45 minute romp down I95 but still 206 none the less.

 

Oh, ok.. Good luck with that..

 

Hey , Thank you sleeper, You sure it's ok now ?

 

I was seeing normal o 196-199, after the tune it runs between 199-205. I have seen the occasional 206-207 but thats it. Sounds to me like the thermostat got stuck, and a good hot-cold cycle might have released it.

 

Yea Batman, carry on....
