noticed my car has been running a little hot lately, so i popped the hood and i could hear the coolant cooking in the tube
 , now i got three questions...1, i guess my thermostat is the cause, right? 2, does it matter that the coolant was cooking ? like leaving lime residue ow something? 3, anyone knows how much a new one would run? This post has been edited by Predator: Apr 21, 2006 - 10:38 AM --------------------  |

ok, i checked the exhausts and the oil, no signs of coolant, i've yet to check the sparkplugs but it seems so far so good
i guess i can remove the thermostat altogether and see if it still is doing the same i hope it's not the head that is warped or cracked or i'll cry -------------------- |
