up and down temp.

Is it possible that there still might be a little bit of air in the line?

ok...i fail to say I do have a new rad. cap on it. this morning I could hear a few bubbles go thru the heater box under the dash. So after work I stopped by a steep boat ramp to try to get the air to come up,it helped a little but still have the same issue. I also pulled up on the red lever on the radiator cap to relieve some air but it only seemed to help a little for a moment then back to the same bouncing. On a side note coolant DIDENT come gushing out like I thought it would. I only got a little to squirt out. is that normal? (it was at operating temp.)

The fan clutch seems to be fine. no movement in it.
The coolant tank and the hose for it are clean and clear

You might not have enough coolant. It definitely should have come out.

 

[dans99]

the overflow jug is full to the hot mark and the radiator is full right up to the neck.

 

[retorq]

That sounds overfull ...

 

[fyremanpat]

you can have a clog in the line from the over flow and be full to the neck with a less than full coolant system. When you crack the cap at temp it should have gushed out...ps you probably shouldnt do that..Ive see WAY more 2nd and 3rd degree burns then I would like to cause of that. (Ive been a medic for 9 years)...but it definitely seems like you have a bubble some where

 

[dans99]

Ya, I am thinking it has to be a bubble somewhere. I will just have to keep trying to bleed it. The upper hose is hard but when I release the pressure from the cap the hose goes back to feeling normal. so its got to me air.....I hope.


fyremanpat.....Your right I shouldent be letting the pressure out while at temp. I did have 4 rags covering the cap when I did this. (not that its much better.)

Wouldn't the ECU get the temperature from the same place, though?

...nevermind, I was reading 2K6TBSS response.

Maybe, wasn't sure whether the gauges were mechanical or electric
