UPDATE:
I changed the thermostat and also swapped out a leaking heater hose on the passenger side. I also wired up the fans to the switch and they are coming on on when I turn the switch, however the car is still overheating. I thought maybe the temp gauge sensor was bad so I unplugged it and went for a short test drive, however when I plugged the switch back in it shot up to hot so I left the switch on and ran the fans until it cooled off.
BTW, what direction are the fans supposed to spin? My fans are spinning clockwise.
I fully bleed the coolant like the book says. I did noticed something kinda strange my upper radiator hose looks almost collapsed in one of the curves. I am using the upper hose from the H22 not my original. I can't think of anything else.
There is nothing dripping on the timing belt side. Any ideas I need help.
How can you tell if the radiator is not clogged and the coolant is flowing?
I checked the oil and no coolant in oil. I am going to go for another SHORT test drive and see if there is any white smoke.
Could it be the waterpump? But I see no drips on the timing side.
