Hi everyone, I really need some help. I have a 96 gt and my car will not stop overheating. But the wierd part is that the temp guege reads normal so the fans don't kick in anymore.Everytime I park my car my radiatior dumps all the coolant out through the reservior. I think that my thermostat went bad but I am very open to suggestions. I already posted on a different site but know one could help me or they just chose not to.

Hey well I have auto-tech at school and I talked to my teacher who is a 7 time ASE certified technician. He said that it would be imposible for it to be a blown head gasket because the pressure that, that would cause in the engine would make it blow out after driving it for a couple minutes. He also said that it was most likely not the thermostat and that the most probable cause of the overheating is one of the relay switches. He said that I should just bypass all the switches because I think our cars have like 3 or 4 and juss wire the fans directly into the fuse box so that when I turn the ignition the fans automatically come on. I guess that I am just an idiot because I checked the relays and they seemed ok. He said it might also be the water temp. reciever.
